Description

Freshly isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes from HIV-1-seropositive individuals frequently lyse autologous HIV-1-expressing cells or autologous cells infected with vaccinia vectors encoding HIV-1-specific proteins. Administration of these cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) may help prevent HIV disease progression. AMENDED 03/28/94: Patients are not accrued at the 25 billion CTL dose. Instead, a third cohort receives three infusions of 1 billion CTL 5-8 weeks apart. AMENDED 02/14/94: Patients infused with 1 or 5 billion CTL will be reinfused with 1 billion CTL 6-12 months later, and then f...
