Increased peripheral expansion of naive CD4+ T cells in vivo after IL-2 treatment of patients with HIV infection
29 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Intermittent interleukin-2 (IL-2) therapy has been shown to increase the number of CD4+ T cells, preferentially cells with a naive phenotype, in patients with HIV infection. For this report we investigated the mechanism underlying this expansion by studying the relative roles of peripheral expansion and thymic output. In a cohort of six patients receiving IL-2 over a period of 1 year, the mean number of naive...
