Tumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulates human Clara cell secretory protein production by human airway epithelial cells.

abstract：:Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/APO-2L) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor family that induces apoptosis in a variety of transformed cell lines and in normal human hepatocytes and brain cells. Soluble TRAIL at high concentrations was found to induce apoptotic death in normal human ...
