RESUMO
In available literature, different kinetics for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) release by peripheral blood mononuclear cells are reported upon stimulation with Cryptococcus neoformans. Results in this study showed that shaking cells gives faster kinetics of TNF-alpha release while large working volumes give lower TNF-alpha concentrations. Different experimental conditions thus influence kinetics of TNF-alpha release by phagocytes.
