摘要
We report the long-term outcome of 27 HIV-infected patients treated for over 3 years with IL-2 and binucleoside analogues. These patients experienced a sustained increase in CD4 cells and a decrease of proviral DNA with infrequent IL-2 cycles. In three cases, virus could not be isolated from activated peripheral cells. A high frequency of HIV-1-specific memory CD4 T cells was found in the patients studied. IL-2 maintains specific effector cells and reduces the pool of infected cells in patients, albeit treated only with binucleosides.
