Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that functions as an autocrine growth factor for AIDS-derived Kaposi s sarcoma (KS) cells.

Natural Killer cell Stimulatory Factor (NKSF) or interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine of 70 kDa formed by a heavy chain of 40 kDa (p40) and a light chain of 35 kDa (p35). Although it was originally identified and purified from the supernatant of Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cell lines, it has been sh

Voluntary HIV testing was used to study the extent of HIV-1 infection in patients attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics in England and Wales between 1985 and 1990. Homosexual and bisexual men and 10-20% of heterosexual men and women were invited to complete a study record and have an HIV-1 antibody test

Using polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation we have found that most HIV-1 seropositive patients have IgG containing-circulating immune complexes (CIC). In addition these CIC sometimes contain IgA, IgM, C3, and/or HIV p24 antigen. Previous work has demonstrated that patients who have plasma viremia, CD4 cell counts l
