Abstract
⺠Liver TAFI expression increases in acute phase in mice but mechanism is unknown. ⺠We demonstrate that mouse TAFI transcription is increased by TNFα. ⺠TNFα acts through an NFκB site in the mouse promoter that is absent in human. ⺠Our findings rationalize the species-specific response of TAFI levels to endotoxin.
