    Abstract

    Recent studies have implicated a role for tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα) in the development of the asthmatic reaction. In this study, we examined the influence of TNFα on isotonic contraction of tracheal smooth muscle of the guinea-pig in vitro in response to methacholine. Tracheal rings were incubated with recombinant human (rh)TNFα (3x10
