متن کاملDifferential effects of interleukin-12, interleukin-15, and interleukin-2 on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication in vitro.
Cytokines may have clinical utility as therapeutic agents for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and as an adjuvant for vaccines. The effect of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IL-15 on in vitro HIV-1 replication was investigated. IL-12 and IL-15 at doses up to 10 ng/ml had little effect on basal HIV-1 p24 antigen production by chronically HIV-infected T (ACH-2) and monocytic (U1) ...
متن کاملEffects of undernutrition on survival of human immunodeficiency virus positive children on antiretroviral therapy
BACKGROUND The relationship between undernutrition and HIV is bidirectional, ultimately contributing to quality of life and survival of affected individuals. Ethiopia is a sub-Saharan nation influenced by both undernutrition and HIV. In Ethiopia, although individuals are often dually impacted, the effect of undernutrition on the survival of HIV positive children on anti-retroviral therapy (ART)...
متن کاملEffects of intermittent interleukin-2 therapy on plasma and tissue human immunodeficiency virus levels and quasi-species expression.
To characterize the effects of intermittent interleukin (IL)-2 therapy on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), 11 patients underwent detailed virological evaluation during a year of IL-2 therapy. Six patients showed a >0.5 log increase in plasma HIV during at least 1 IL-2 cycle, with 2 experiencing an increase in >50% of cycles. Three of the remaining 5 patients had a >0.5 log decrease during at...
