abstract：:T-kininogen is known to be an acute-phase reactant as well as a kininogen in rat plasma. Three kinds of cytokines, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor and interferon, were assayed for their abilities to stimulate hepatic production of T-kininogen. Of these cytokines, interferon was able to stimulate hepatic productio...
