Abstract

We detected and quantified tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) from monocytes/macrophages (M phi) in the peripheral blood of subjects from three different population groups, i.e., tuberculin-negative healthy subjects, tuberculin-positive healthy subjects, and patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. TNF-alpha or IL-6 activity in the culture supernatant of these cells was determined by the cytotoxicity of murine L-929 cells or by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Detection and enumeration of cells secreting either TNF-alpha or IL-6 were performed by an adaptation of the enzyme-linked immunospot assay. Monocytes/M phi from tuberculin-positive healthy subjects or patients with tuberculosis showed higher TNF-alpha- and IL-6-producing activities than those from tuberculin-negative healthy subjects. The number of TNF-alpha- and IL-6-secreting cells in either lipopolysaccharide- or muramyl dipeptide-stimulated mononuclear cells from tuberculin-positive healthy subjects and patients was significantly higher than that in cells from the tuberculin-negative healthy subjects.
