Interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor alpha production in human epidermal keratinocytes induced by Trichophyton mentagrophytes

Clin Diagn Lab Immunol. 2002 Jul;9(4):935-7. doi: 10.1128/cdli.9.4.935-937.2002.

Abstract

Production of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a medium where human epidermal keratinocytes were cocultured with Trichophyton mentagrophytes for 1 to 12 h. IL-8 and TNF-alpha mRNAs were also detected in the keratinocytes cocultured with T. mentagrophytes.
