All FDA-approved anti-TNF-α agents containing a human IgG fragment crystallizable (Fc) portion (infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and golimumab) can promote antibody-dependent cell-mediated cell death (ADCC) of mTNF-α/TNF-α-producing cells (Table 3). The same anti-TNF-α agents promote mTNF-α reverse signalling.

However, some HIV-managing drugs react poorly with those taken for hepatitis C treatme...
