Impaired interleukin 12 production in human immunodeficiency virus- infected patients
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, asymptomatic or with acquired immunodeficiency virus, produced 10-fold less interleukin 12 (IL-12) free heavy chain and fivefold less biologically active IL-12 heterodimer than PBMC from uninfected healthy donors when challenged in vitro with the common human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. In c...
متن کاملDifferential dynamics of Epstein-Barr virus in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1 receiving intermittent interleukin-2 and antiretroviral therapy.
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) increases circulating CD4(+) lymphocytes in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1. We studied Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) dynamics in 40 patients treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) plus different IL-2 regimens. EBV-DNA tended to increase in both peripheral blood cells and plasma after continous infusion followed by intermittent subcutaneous high-dose IL-...
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 کاملChanges in interleukin-2 and interleukin-4 production in asymptomatic, human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive individuals.
Infection with HIV results in an incremental loss of T helper cell (TH) function, which can occur years before CD4 cell numbers are critically reduced and AIDS is diagnosed. All TH function is not affected, however, because B cell activation and hypergammaglobulinema are also characteristic of this period. Recently, in a murine model of AIDS an early loss in production of the CD4 cytokines IL-2...
متن کاملOral Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patients
Background: Oral lesions are among the earliest clinical manifestations of human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection and are important in early diagnosis and for monitoring the progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of oral lesions and their relationship with a number of factors in HIV/AIDS patients attending an HIV cente...
