Murine lymphocytes were treated with TIG for 48 and 96 h at concentrations reflecting its plasma levels obtained in vivo at therapeutic doses, and at 10-fold lower concentrations. It was found that TIG neither affected substantially the percentage and absolute counts of entire CD4+ and CD8+ T cell populations nor influenced the Foxp3+CD25+CD4+ regulatory/suppressive T cell subset. Furthermore, the percentages of IL-4-, IL-10-, IL-17- and TGF-β-producing CD4+ T cells were not altered following the exposure to TIG. Similarly, TIG did not influence IFN-γ production by CD8+ T cells. Thus, with respect to the parameters evaluated, TIG does not seem to exert immune-suppressive and anti-inflammatory effects.}, type={Short communication}, title={Effect of tigecycline on the production of selected cytokines and counts of murine CD4+ and CD8+ T cells - an in vitro study}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/109586/PDF/22.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2018.125594}, keywords={tigecycline, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, cytokines, mouse}, }
