Use of interleukin-2 in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

TL;DR: Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome were treated with a natural product, highly purified human interleukin-2, and immunologic changes during the study included a decrease in the number of circulating T8 lymphocytes, increased skin test reactivity, and a decline in serum immunoglobulin levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia by multiple lobe, site-directed bronchoalveolar lavage with immunofluorescent monoclonal antibody staining in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients receiving aerosolized pentamidine chemoprophylaxis.

TL;DR: This study assessed whether the yield of a single middle or lower lobe BAL could be increased by the utilization of two techniques: indirect immunofluorescent staining with a combination of two murine monoclonal anti-Pneumocystis antibodies in addition to routine toluidine blue O and cytopathologic staining and multiple lobe, site-directed BAL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-related leukocyte inclusions in acquired immune deficiency syndrome: localization in T cells.

TL;DR: Blood samples from a series of patients with Kaposi's sarcoma or infectious complications of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and from 18 homosexual contacts of AIDS patients were screened for interferon-related tubuloreticular inclusions (TRI) in circulating leukocytes, demonstrating localization of TRI in T suppressor/cytotoxic cells was demonstrated with monoclonal anti-Leu 2a antibodies.
