Abstract

Th1/Th2 cytokines in AIDS: sorting out the confusion: D.J. Blackbourn, Page 715

The type I/type 2 cytokine balance concept may help to account, at least in part, for the immunopathogenesis of AIDS. Type 1 cytokines are suggested by Clerici and Shearer (this Forum) to prevent CD4 ÷ cell loss and dysfunction by programmed cell death (PCD) and type 2 cytokines enhance PCD. However, the type 1/type 2 cytokine profile relationship and its involvement in disease progression in HIV-
infected individuals is incompletely understood.
