Ophthalmol Eye Dis. 2012 Sep 25;4:79-90. doi: 10.4137/OED.S10294. Print 2012.

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) are key cytokines whose increased production during systemic HIV infection has been associated with decreased cellular immunity during AIDS. We examined whether HIV-induced stimulation of IL-4 or IL-10 production leads to increased susceptibility to...
