title: Proteomic analysis of serum cytokine levels in response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
abstract: A 30-cytokine protein microarray was used to screen for cytokine profile changes in HIV-infected patients in response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Serum cytokines showing significant changes were confirmed by enzyme immunoassay. Monokine induced by gamma-interferon (MIG) and interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) levels significantly decreased after 24 weeks of HAART. Protein microarrays are useful for initial screening of novel cytokine expression. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of MIG and IP-10 in response to HAART.
