1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Cytokine dysregulation has been implicated in AIDS pathogenesis and the gastrointestinal tract, containing approximately 40% of the body's lymphoid tissue, is likely to act both as a reservoir of viral infection and a site for immune dysregulation. In this study evidence of cytokine dysregulation in intestinal mucosa has been sought using the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to...
