摘要
Etanercept, adalimumab and infliximab all specifically antagonize tumor necrosis factor (TNF), but with differential clinical efficacy. Differences in their pharmacology and mechanisms of action, and disease heterogeneity, might account for this therapeutic disparity, as might reverse signaling by transmembrane TNF in response to anti-TNF antibodies, all of which are reviewed here.
