间白细胞素-2对治疗获得性免疫缺乏综合症(AIDS)的可能性已宣传得非常多。但是,现在康乃尔大学医学院Henry W. Murray的实验室研究表明,γ-干扰素也许能为AIDS病人重建免疫系统。AIDS病人免疫系统的破坏使他们不能抵御几乎所有的病毒和细菌感染。这种病人免疫系统的一个缺陷就是一些淋巴细胞(T-细胞)不能产生γ-干扰素。 Murray的实验显示由Genetech公司生产的实验室用γ-干扰素能激活巨噬细胞,
Interleukin-2 is highly recommended for the treatment of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). However, laboratory studies by Cornell University Medical College Henry W. Murray now show that interferon-gamma may be able to reconstruct the immune system in AIDS patients. The destruction of the immune system in AIDS patients prevents them from being able to withstand almost all the viral and bacterial infections. One of the drawbacks of this patient’s immune system is that some lymphocytes (T-cells) can not produce gamma-interferon. Murray’s experiments show that laboratory-generated gamma interferon by Genetech activates macrophages,
