The effect of extracorporeal photoimmunotherapy (ECP) on serum TNF-a level in chronic graft versus host disease ( GvHD ) ... The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there was any relation between serum TNF-a levels and the response to ECP in patients with steroid refractory of extensive chronic GvHD. Between March 2001 and August 2003, seven patients ( male : 1, female : 6 ) had ECP for treatment of steroid refractory extensive chronic GvHD. Five age and gender matched healthy volunteers were included in this study as the control group

ECP efficiently impairs the spontaneous maturation and secretion of proinflammatory tumor necrosis factor-alpha , interleukin-1beta, and interleukin-12 by slanDCs

:
Furthermore, NUF251-ECP induced high level of TNF-alpha secretion from RAW264.7 cells ... Both NO and TNF-alpha productions induced by NUF251-ECP were significantly blocked by a JNK inhibitor
