The role of cytokines which signal through the common gamma chain cytokine receptor in the reversal of HIV specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell anergy.

BACKGROUND: HIV specific T cells are putatively anergic in vivo. IL-2, a member of a class of cytokines that binds to receptors containing the common gamma chain (gammac) has been shown to reverse anergy. We examined the role of gammac cytokines in reversing HIV specific T cell anergy. METHODS: PBMC...
