T-lymphocyte subpopulations (CD4, CD8), IL-4 and IFN-gamma concentration in stimulated cell culture (PBMC) in children with atopic dermatitis.
The study was carried out on a group of children with atopic dermatitis. We were looking for a correlation between the percentages of CD4, CD8 lymphocytes and IFN-gamma and IL-4 concentrations in stimulated PHA cells cultures (PBMC). On the ground of obtained results, a statistically significant increase of IL-4 concentration in children with atopic dermatitis and a correlation between CD4 cells and IFN-gamma concentration was found.
