Glial TNFα in the Spinal Cord Regulates Neuropathic Pain Induced by HIV gp120 Application in Rats

Abstract

Our results indicate that TNFα in the spinal cord and the DRG are involved in neuropathic pain, following the peripheral HIV gp120 application, and that blockade of the glial product TNFα reverses neuropathic pain induced by HIV gp120 application.
