claimTumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF-β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by T Cells that binds to CD120a and CD120b receptors on phagocytes and tumor cells, acting as a chemotactic and phagocytic agent that also induces other cytokines.
referenceIL-12 is classified as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by T cells, macrophages, and monocytes, binds to the CD212 receptor, targets NK cells, macrophages, and tumor cells, and functions in activating NK cells, phagocyte cell activation, endotoxic shock, tumor cytotoxicity, and cachexia.
