Zusammenfassung: | Background
Altered production of cytokines is believed to contribute to early childhood susceptibility to infection. The aim of this study was to get further insight into the developmental patterns of cytokine responses from birth to adulthood.
Methods
The expression levels of 13 cytokines were compared in the supernatants of phytohemaggluttinin (PHA)-stimulated whole blood from healthy neonates (cord blood,
