PURPOSE:The titled factor is prepared by culturing a human malignant monocytic cell in the presence of a differentiation-inducing substance, or by differentiating a human malignant monocytic cell with a differentiation-inducing substance, and culturing the cell in the presence of an extracorporeal stimulation substance. CONSTITUTION:A human tumor necrosis factor can be prepared either by culturing a malignant human monocytic cell (e.g. human proosseous leukemia cell, human chronic myelocytic leukemia cell, etc.) in the presence of a differentiation-inducing substance (e.g. hemin, actinomycin D, hexamethyleneaclacinomycin A, teleocidin, etc.) or by differentiating a malignant human monocytic cell with a differentiation-inducing substance, and culturing the cell in the presence of an extracorporeal stimulation substance (e.g. lipopolysaccharoid, various lectins, vitamin A, etc.). The medium for the above cultivation is preferably Rosewell. Park.Memorial.Institute 1640 medium. |
