TNF(腫瘍壊死因子)−αは、活性化マクロファージが産生するサイトカインの一種で腫瘍部位に出血性壊死を誘発させる因子として1975年に発見されたが、現在では炎症反応・免疫機構に広く関わるメディエーターとして認識されている。しかしながら、TNF−αの産生調節機構の破綻、例えば持続的かつ過剰な産生が組織障害を引き起こす等の様々な病気の原因や増悪をもたらす要因となりうることが考えられる。従って、TNF−αの過剰産生や作用を防止または障害することは数多くの炎症性・感染性・免疫性または悪性疾患に対する有用な治療剤と成り得る可能性もある。その様な疾患としては、アレルギー、気管支喘息、敗血症、関節炎(関節リウマチ・変形性関節症等)、糖尿病、乾癬、クローン病、潰瘍性大腸炎等が挙げられる。
【0003】
