Abstract

When pentoxifylline was present during stimulation of human mononuclear leukocytes with Plasmodium falciparum exogenous antigens, an increase in interleukin-6 production was observed simultaneously with a reduction of tumor necrosis factor secretion. Similar results were obtained in murine macrophages stimulated with P. vinckei antigens. This indicates the independence of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor secretion in response to malaria antigens.
