Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) stimulates the acute phase of the immune response. In response to a pathogen, TNF alpha is one of the first to be released and can apply its effects in many organs. TNF alpha stimulates the release of corticotropic releasing hormone, suppresses appetite, and induces fever, in the hypothalamus. TNF increase vasodilation and loss of vascular permeability, it helps recruit lymphocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte to the inflammation site by regulating chemokine release.
