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). | Tacrolimus | interleukin 2 | Homo sapiens |
2 | In cord blood lymphocytes, the inhibitory effect of ciclosporin A and tacrolimus was dose-dependent (e.g. IL-2: control, 12.3 +/- 5.33%, ciclosporin A 5 ng/mL, 10.1 +/- 5.5%; 50 ng/mL, 7.1 +/- 4.7%; 500 ng/mL, 1.2 +/- 0.3%; tacrolimus 0.25 ng/mL, 9.3 +/- 4.9%; 2.5 ng/mL, 6.1 +/- 3.3%; 25 ng/mL, 1.0 +/- 0.6%), while the function of adult lymphocytes was only impaired at high doses of both compounds. | Tacrolimus | interleukin 2 | Homo sapiens |
