Patterns of food allergen‐specific cytokine production by T lymphocytes of children with multiple allergies

Abstract

Food-allergic children's IL-4 cytokine response to their relevant allergens is predominantly from a memory population of CD4(+) CD45 RO(+) cells, whereas IL-4 and IFN-gamma secretion of non-allergic controls was predominantly from mixed CD4(+) and CD8(+) CD45 RO(+) populations.
