摘要: Summary. Capacity to produce interleukin-2 (IL-2) was measured in haemophiliacs from a well-defined treated cohort. Patients were selected on the basis of HIV-1 antibody status, mean annual dose clotting factor and liver disease severity. T-cell subsets peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation Mycobacterium tuberculosis purified protein derivative (PPD) also measured. Haemophiliacs had reduced IL-2 production, independent concentrate used In positive patients levels correlated with PPD proliferative responses (r=0.6, P=0.04) CD8+ve (r=05, P=0.05) but not CD4 + ve numbers (r= 0.3, P=0.2). No such correlations seen negative patients. Reduced production due qualitative defect. HTV-1 defect T lymphocytes that selectively proliferate response observed. patients.
