## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) has been used successfully to increase CD4 cell counts in patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. The mechanisms involved in this phenomenon are unknown. We hypothesized that a differential proliferation rate of CD4+ compared wit

## Abstract Recent studies indicate that a defective proliferative response of HIV‐specific CD8+ T cells is associated with the lack of virologic control in chronic HIV infection in humans. The possible mechanisms that might be responsible for the reduced proliferative potential of HIV‐specific CD8
## Abstract These studies were designed to determine the degree of overlapping between cytolytic function and lymphokine production among peripheral blood human T lymphocytes. T8^+^ and T4^+^ cells were obtained by sorting purified T cells using the fluorescence‐activated cell sorter (FACS) and clo
