  • Title: Augmentation of mitogen-induced proliferative responses by in vitro indomethacin in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome and AIDS-related complex.

    Journal: Int J Immunopharmacol; 1985; 7(6):917-21. PubMed ID: 4077348.
    Abstract:
    The effect of indomethacin on mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferative responses was studied in six normal heterosexual subjects and nine patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex (ARC). Indomethacin enhanced only Con A-induced lymphocyte responses in six heterosexual men. In contrast, study of the cells from AIDS and ARC revealed that indomethacin enhanced PHA-induced lymphocyte proliferative responses from 52,600 counts/min to 70,900 counts/min (P less than 0.005) and 81,400 counts/min (P less than 0.001) at 0.1 and 1 microgram/ml. respectively and increased Con A-induced lymphoproliferation from 30,800 counts/min to 52,000 counts/min (P less than 0.01) at 0.1 microgram/mg and 51,1000 counts/min (P less than 0.005) at 1 microgram/ml. These results suggest that indomethacin enhanced mitogen-induced lymphoproliferative responses in vitro with cells from patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex and may have therapeutic potential in some patients with AIDS.
