Abstract Background Tumor necrosis factor TNF is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in a broad spectrum of inflammatory and immune responses including proliferation differentiation and cell death. The biological effects of TNF are mediated via two cell surface TNF receptors p55TNFR TNFR1 CD120a and p75TNFR TNFR2 CD120b . Soluble forms of these two receptors consisting of the extracellular domains are proteolytically cleaved from the membrane and act as inhibitors. A novel p75TNFR isoform generated by the use of an additional transcriptional start site has been described and was termed hicp75TNFR. We focused on the characterization of this new .
