In medicine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha is a "serum glycoprotein produced by activated macrophages and other mammalian mononuclear leukocytes. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as tnf-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to tnf-beta (lymphotoxin), but they share tnf receptors.[1]
