Background: In our previous study we found that rhsIL-6R, along with recombinant human interleukin-6, plays a regulatory role in the immune response by modulating the tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression and its production by peripheral blood mononuclearcells (PBMC). We also suggested that sIL-6R with IL-6 secreted by human PMN (neutrophils) influenced the TNF-α expression and its production by autologous PBMC.
