mediators for the modulation of liver synthesis of acute phase proteins. However, studies of
the direct effect of individual or a combination of these cytokines on the synthesis of acute
phase proteins in human hepatocytes are still very limited. In this study, we have examined
the synthesis of C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in primary cultures of
human hepatocytes exposed to recombinant (r) IL-1α (100 U/ml), rIL-6 (2000 U/ml), rTNFα …
