Abstract

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from male homosexuals with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and with AIDS related complex (ARC) were examined for the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR) between responder T and irradiated autologous non-T cells and in vitro influence of purified human interleukin-1 (IL-1) and -2 (IL-2) on the AMLR. The AMLR was significantly (P less than 0.001) deficient in both ARC and AIDS; the deficiency of the AMLR was of the similar magnitude in two groups when compared to asymptomatic homosexuals and healthy heterosexuals. In vitro addition of IL-2 enhanced the AMLR to the baseline levels of control subjects in most patients in ARC group (P less than 0.01) and in four of 15 patients in AIDS group (P less than 0.01). Addition of IL-1 to IL-2 containing cultures resulted in no further increase in the AMLR response over those with IL-2 alone. This study demonstrates deficiency of the AMLR in patients with ARC and AIDS that is corrected by purified IL-2 in the majority of cases with ARC but only a subset of patients with AIDS. The significance of these findings is discussed.
