Abstract
The levels of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 p24 antibodies and p 24 antigen among 256 Ethiopians and Africans and 86 Swedes were compar ed. The elevated levels of total anti-p24 immunoglobulin G (IgG) and a nti-p24 IgG4 among the Ethiopian and African patients suggest influenc es from T-helper-cell type 2-like responses.
