abstract：:KYM-1D4 cells are a subline derived from a human rhabdomyosarcoma which are highly sensitive to TNF-mediated cytotoxicity. They were selected for this study because they express human TNF-R and are therefore a more relevant target for comparing the potential therapeutic value of human TNF-inhibitory agents than the us...
