Epidemiological evaluation of release of monocyte TNF-a as an exposure and effect marker in pneumonoconiosis : a five year follow up study of coal workers / Roel P.F. Schins, Paul J.A. Borm

Sumario: Objectives: to determine reproducibility with previous cross sectional findings, and the predictive value of initial release of tumour necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) towards later progression of coalworkers' pneumoconiosis. The results show the significant involvement of TNF-a in pneumoconiosis in humans induced by coal dust
