TNF-alpha is an important cytokine produced by numerous cell types including neutrophils, activated lymphocytes, macrophages and NK cells.
It plays a critical role in inflammatory responses and in apoptosis (1).
TNF-alpha exists as a membrane-anchored and soluble form, both of which show biological activity.
Response to TNF-alpha is mediated through two receptors, TNFR1, which is widely expressed, and TNFR2, which is expressed mainly in immune and endothelial cells (2).
Antagonists to TNF-alpha have been validated as therapeutic targets for rheumatoid arthritis and other immune disorders (3).
The two receptors for TNF-alpha, TNFR1 (55kD) and TNFR2 (75kD) can mediate distinct cellular responses (4,5).
In most cases cytotoxicity elicited by TNF has been reported to act throught TNFR1 (6,7).
In contrast, TNFR2 appears to be important in T cell signaling and responses to infection (7,8).
TNFR2 binds to distinct members of the TRAF family leading to the activation of NF-kappaB (9,10).
Soluble forms of both receptors have also been characterized which can bind TNF-alpha and may play an important role in immune disorders.
