In order to investigate the T cell cytokine profile during age‐dependent maturation of the immune response, we evaluated the cytokine expression of CD4+ and CD8+ circulating cells by flow cytometric single‐cell analysis after non‐specific stimulation in vitro in different age groups of normal individuals, from cord blood to adulthood. Moreover, we correlated these lymphocyte cytokine patterns with the expression/release of CD30, a member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, which has been suggested to be related to the T helper/cytotoxic (Th(c))2‐type immune responses, in order to verify this association in vivo, in non‐pathological conditions. The results showed a progressive increase of circulating Th(c)1‐type, interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ)‐ and/or IL‐2‐producing T cells along with ageing and, conversely, a stable number, although higher than in cord blood samples, of CD4+/IL‐4+ T cells in the post‐natal groups. In addition, serum levels of soluble CD30 (sCD30) and numbers of circulating CD4+/CD30+ and CD8+/CD30+ T cells were significantly higher in children aged < 5 years in comparison with those found either in cord blood or in blood from both older children and adults. These data support the concept of a progressive polarization of the Th(c) cell cytokine profile towards the Th(c)1 pattern during age‐dependent maturation of the immune response. Moreover, the peak of CD30 expression/release in early infancy before the Th(c)1 shifting occurs, although not associated with a significant increase of circulating IL‐4+ T cells, raises the question of the possible relationship in vivo between CD30 and Th(c)2‐type immune responses.
