Abstract

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a key cytokine in the immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). TNF can exhibit its biological eff ects in the presence of a suffi cient number of specifi c receptors on cells – types 1 and 2 membrane receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2). The objective of this research was to study the diff erences in TNFR expression in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (aPTB) in comparison with the parameters of healthy individuals. Expression levels of TNFR1/2 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were analysed by fl ow cytometry. TNF and its types 1 and 2 soluble receptors (sTNFR1 and sTNFR2) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). TNFR1 expression on PBMCs in aPTB patients was increased compared to healthy donors. sTNFR levels were lower in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Data received suggest that TNF receptors play an important role in the immunopathogenesis of active pulmonary tuberculosis.
