Autocrine Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and Lymphotoxin (LT) α Differentially Modulate Cellular Sensitivity to TNF/LT-α Cytotoxicity in L929 Cells

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lymphotoxin (LT) α are structurally and functionally related cytokines. We expressed the TNF and LT-α genes in murine fibrosarcoma L929r2 cells, which can be sensitized to TNF/LT-α–dependent necrosis by inhibitors of transcription or translation. Autocrine production...
