Abstract

Using radiolabelled lymphocytes, we have demonstrated that recombinant bovine TNFα is potent in its ability to recruit lymphocytes from the blood into TNFα injected skin sites. Furthermore, TNFα mediates this observed increase in lymphocyte accumulation in a clear dose-response manner, and may play an important role in the mediation of DTH reactions in the skin.
