Inhibition of TNF-amp;agr; pleiotropic and cytotoxic effects

摘要

The pleiotropic effects of TNF alfa in a wide variety of mammalian cell types is decreased and treated by administering glucosaminylmuramyl peptides with D-amino acid residue in a second or third position from the proximal end. New methods for nonspecific oral, vaginal, and topic inhibition is proposed. Inhibition of cytotoxicity of TNF alfa is also achieved.
