HIV replication in IL-2-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells is driven in an autocrine/paracrine manner by endogenous cytokines.
1 Mar 1995
Abstract excerpt
Replication of HIV is regulated by virus-encoded regulatory proteins, as well as by a variety of cellular factors including cytokines. In the present study, we have investigated the autocrine/paracrine effects of endogenous cytokines on HIV replication in primary PBMCs of healthy HIV seronegative individuals. Addition of rIL-2 to cultures between 0 and 72 h after isolation of PBMCs allowed the replication of...
