RESUMO

Soluble CD8 levels in sera were quantitated in asymptomatic intravenous drug abusers, homosexuals, and patients with lymphadenopathy or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Soluble CD8 levels were elevated in human immunodeficiency virus-seronegative intravenous drug abusers and homosexuals, probably reflecting infections like cytomegalovirus. The sera of human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive groups of patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection also had elevated levels of soluble CD8, reflecting infections like cytomegalovirus and human immunodeficiency virus infection.
