Trials and Tribulations of Tumor Necrosis Factor, Part 1




Healio Rheuminations show

Summary: In Part 1, we look at the original studies that led to the discovery of TNF in two separate labs where researchers were looking for two completely different things. We’ll learn how these discoveries then fueled the use of TNF in the failed trials as an anti-cancer agent, and the eventual development of antibody therapy against TNF in septic shock.
