Haptoglobin polymorphism in human immunodeficiency virus infection: Hp0 phenotype limits depletion of CD4 cell counts in HIV-1-seropositive individuals.

Abstract excerpt

Patients seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 and seronegative control subjects were categorized by their haptoglobin phenotypes, which were determined by electrophoresis of hemoglobin-supplemented plasma samples followed by benzidine staining. The CD4 cell counts, determined by flow cytometry from peripheral blood mononuclear cells according to subject categories, were severely diminished...
