The secretion of acute phase proteins and inflammatory cytokines during Trypanosoma congolense infection is not affected by the absence of the TNF-α gene

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays a role in the host's defence against infections with African trypanosomes. It helps to control the blood stream form of the parasite and in <em>Trypanosoma congolense</em> infections, it also prolongs survival. The mechanisms by which this cytokine can influence...
