  1. * Stimulationindices were calculated from the values obtained with the BEB3 anti-TWEAK mAb results: TWEAK/medium; (TNF + TWEAK)/TNF alone; (IL-1β + TWEAK)/IL-1β alone. Similar results were obtained in 3 independent experiments. hTWEAK, human TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis; IP-10, interferon-γ-inducible protein-10; MMP-1, matrix metalloproteinase-1; nd, not detectable; PGE2, prostaglandin E2; RANTES, regulated on activation, normal T expressed and secreted; TNF, tumour necrosis factor.
