Abstract
Elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha in serum were found in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected Africans to a hig her extent than in matched HIV-1-infected Caucasians, both groups livi ng in Sweden. The results suggest that factors not related to the envi ronment contribute to enhanced synthesis of tumor necrosis factor alph a in HIV-1-infected patients.
