1 RESULTS: Upon exposure to ciclosporin A (500 ng/mL) or tacrolimus (25 ng/mL) the number of cytokine expressing T cells was almost completely blocked in neonatal T cells while sirolimus (10 ng/mL) only inhibited intracytoplasmatic tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) expression (mean% positive cells; 4.0 +/- 2.1% vs. 1.09 +/- 0.6%, p = 0.003), but mildly stimulated the intracellular expression of interleukin (IL)-2 (24.4 +/- 6.5% vs. 28.1 +/- 7.1%, p = 0.041).

2 In contrast, the number of cytokine expressing monocytes was not influenced by ciclosporin A and tacrolimus except for a minor decrease of TNF-alpha producing neonatal monocytes after addition of tacrolimus (17.9% vs. 13.9%, p = 0.031). Tacrolimus tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
