Abstract excerpt
Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus are at increased risk for developing intermediate-grade and high-grade B-cell lymphomas that in many instances contain Epstein-Barr viral (EBV) DNA. Because interleukin-5 (IL-5), a potent stimulator of eosinophil growth and differentiation, has been detected recently in EBV-infected B-cells, we hypothesized that some acquired immunodeficiency...
