Production of interleukin-6 by human and murine mononuclear leukocytes stimulated with Plasmodium antigens is enhanced by pentoxifylline, and tumor necrosis factor secretion is reduced.

RESUMO
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.
