摘要: Cytokines, the peptide hormones which control homeostasis of immune system and also play a fundamental role in inflammatory mediated reactions, have been involved at multiple levels pathogenesis acquired deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has shown to induce production several cytokines both vitro vivo. Conversely, modulate HIV expression infected cells T lymphocytic mononuclear phagocytic lineage. Activated cells, particularly B are state chronic activation individuals, release HIV-inductive thus potentially important infection.
