:
As a marker of factor V activity with exogenous factor Xa, fibrin production on TNF-alpha stimulated MCs was increased in a time dependent manner and was inhibited by the addition of anti-factor V antibody

(Asthma...) :
Using SP-A ( -/- ) Kit ( W-sh/W-sh ) mice engrafted with TNF-a ( -/- ) or TNF receptor (TNF-R) ( -/- ) MCs, we found that TNF-a activation of MCs through the TNF-R, but not MC-derived TNF-a, leads to augmented AHR during M pneumoniae infection when SP-A is absent
Nakamura et al., Immunity 2012
(Dermatitis...) :
Unlike normal cells, MCs expressing mutant Nlrp3 produced IL-1ß in response to lipopolysaccharide or tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a)
