A selective decrease in type 1 cytokine secretion by in vitro stimulated peripheral blood cells is reportedly associated with disease progression in HIV-infected individuals. To examine whether a similar change in cytokine secretion occurs under physiologic conditions in vivo, sensitive and specific ELIspot assays were used to compare the phenotype and frequency of PBMC spontaneously producing interleukin (IL)-2,...
