The bioactivity of TNF is inhibited by administering heparin or a derivative thereof along with a soluble TNF receptor. The heparin or derivative thereof can be administered simultaneously with the soluble TNF receptor, either in separate compositions or in compositions containing both heparin or a derivative thereof and at least one soluble TNF receptor. The heparin or derivative may also be administered without the soluble TNF receptor and still effect some amount of inhibition of TNF bioactivity. |
