AB Soluble TNF receptor type II (sTNF alpha RII) levels in serum, CD4
lymphocyte counts, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) burdens have
each been correlated with HIV disease progression. The level of sTNF
alpha RII and HIV RNA was measured in serum and the CD4 lymphocyte count
of 25 HIV-infected patients was determined. sTNF alpha RII ranged
between 3.019 and 12.57 ng/mL (mean +/- SD, 6.705 +/- 2.5). HIV-1 RNA
varied from 960 to 281,160 copies/mL (71,988 +/- 75,684). CD4 cell
number was between 4 and 540/microL (181.3 +/- 152.2). Univariate
analysis revealed a moderate inverse correlation of sTNF alpha RII with
CD4 cell number (r = -.41, P < .05) and a strong positive correlation
between sTNF alpha RII and log RNA copy number (r = .62, P < .001). On
multivariate analysis, sTNF alpha RII strongly correlated with RNA copy
number (P < .01) but not CD4 lymphocyte count. sTNF alpha RII
measurements appear to be predictive of clinical outcomes because they
are a surrogate indicator of the patients' immunologic response to a
virus load.
