Pilot Study of the Effects of Intermittent Interleukin-2 on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)–Specific Immune Responses in Patients Treated during Recently Acquired HIV Infection

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) initiated during acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may preserve HIV-specific CD4+ T cell responses that are thought to enhance HIV-specific CD8+ T cell function. The present pilot study was designed to determine whether preserved HIV-spec...

Zusammenfassung:Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) initiated during acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may preserve HIV-specific CD4+ T cell responses that are thought to enhance HIV-specific CD8+ T cell function. The present pilot study was designed to determine whether preserved HIV-specific immune responses are augmented by the administration of the immunomodulatory agent interleukin (IL)–2.
