Description

IL-12 has a number of effects in vitro that could be relevant to HIV disease including promotion of TH1 cell development, enhancement of HIV-specific T cell responses in cells from subjects with AIDS, and, of particular relevance to MAC disease, increasing secretion of cytotoxic cytokines such as IFN-gamma from both T lymphocytes and NK cells.
