1 The in vitro effect of cefotaxime on the production of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-2, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) was studied in term neonates and was compared with that of adults. Cefotaxime tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 The addition of cefotaxime caused a significant enhancement of IL-2 production by cells of both adults and neonates, and increased the secretion of TNFalpha by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of adults, whereas the synthesis of this cytokine by cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC) of the newborns was not affected.
