Abstract: The effect of high potencies of the cytokine TNFalpha on H2O2 production by SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells is described. An extremely sensitive amplified chemiluminescence method (ECL) showed marked, reproducible (n = 10) effects of TNFalpha on H2O2 productoin (p <0.0025), Student t test). The dose-effect relation was studied over a range from 200 ng/ml of TNFalpha to the 100x potency. Interpolation produced a sinusoid curve (phase interval 5-6) that appeared superimposed on a sinusoid polynomic regression curve of the 10th order (phase interval ~ 35). The results shown in this paper strongly suggest that the chemiluminescence method used is well suited to demonstrate and further investigate the effect of high potencies on biologic systems.
