The role of toll-like receptors in tributyltin-, dibutyltin-, and pentachlorophenol-induced stimulation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) production in human immune cells

Abstract Tributyltin (TBT), Dibutyltin (DBT), and Pentachlorophenol (PCP) are persistent environmental contaminants that increase immune-cell production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and thus have the capacity to cause chronic inflammation and its associated pathologies such as c...
