摘要:
The invention relates to the use of activated T lymphocytes at a dosage effective in transferring cell mediated imunity against AIDS virus infected cells in vivo, in which: (a) the activated T lymphocytes are specific for an epitope of the AIDS virus and histocompatible with the patient; and (b) the activated T lymphocytes are capable of mediating AIDS virus specific T cell immunity as measured by either of the following assays: (i) a cytotoxicity assay in which the activated T lymphocytes are incubated with the patient's radiolabelled target cells infected with AIDS virus, the release of radiolabel being an indication of lysis of the infected target cells; and (ii) a stimulation assay which measures the ability of the activated T lymphocytes to proliferate and/or produce a lymphokine in response to stimulation with an epitope of the AIDS virus in vitro for preparing a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of AIDS.
