Genetic and environmental influences on IL-6 and TNF-alpha plasma levels in apparently healthy general population.

abstract：:Malignant tumours are usually accompanied by an immune response. Chemokines such as MCP-1 have been claimed to be potent inducers of such tumour-associated reactions. In the present study MCP-1 mRNA was quantified by competitive reverse transcription polymerase reaction and localised by in situ hybridisation in renal ...
