We also evaluated the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (Table 6), in supernatants of T-cells, alone and co-cultured with ITP-MSCs, stimulated or not with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (500 ng/mL). The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura.
