Abstract
Treatment of cells with tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma greatly reduces their susceptibility to infection with human immunodeficiency virus and suppresses the production of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) mRNA, core protein p24, and infectious HIV. The combination treatment is cytotoxic for HIV-infected cells and reduces HIV RNA levels in chronically infected cells.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
