Production of Lymphotoxin and Tumor Necrosis Factor by Human Neonatal Mononuclear CellsPediatric Research, 24
The production of the cytokines IL‐l‐α, IL‐l‐β, IL‐2, TNF‐α, and IFN‐γ was measured by a sensitive immunological assay in stimulated whole blood cell cultures from 52 healthy children (33 aged from 1 to 9 years and 19 aged between 10 and 17 years) and 67 healthy adults. When the higher absolute mononuclear cell counts in the peripheral blood samples of the children were taken into account, the relative production of all measured cytokines was lower in the cell cultures of the children than of the adults. In the group of the younger children (< 10 years) the differences were significant for all measured cytokines. In the group of older children (> = 10 years) the values were higher than in the younger children but lower than in adults. The findings indicate that the cellular immunological competence is or can be reduced in children and adolescents, particularly young children below 10 years of age. There seems to be a gradual development of cytokine production during childhood.
