Popis: During and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), cytokines may affect cardiac performance and the immune response and are therefore of diagnostic and therapeutic interest. We have used EIA/EASIA kits to measure arterial and venous levels of interleukin-1-β (IL-1-β, IL-2, IL-2 receptor (IL-2-R), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interferon (IFN)-γ in 12 men and 3 women (mean age 59.4±8.5 years, mean left ventricular ejection fraction 66±11%, average of 2.5±0.64 vessels affected by disease) undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). On average each patient received 3±0.85 bypass grafts and required a postoperative maximum dopamine-dose of 3.8 μg/kg per min. Mean CPB and operation times were 60±21 min, and 132±16 min, respectively. During CPB, the venous levels of IL-2 temporarily decreased from 234 to 0 (p
