We have used two-color flow cytometry to studyin vivomonocytic cytokine production at the
single-cell level in HIV-infected patients. We demonstrated the presence of intracellular IL-
1α, IL-1β, IL-1ra, and TNFα in circulating CD14+ monocytes from HIV-infected patients. The
specificity of intracellular staining with anti-cytokine antibodies was demonstrated by the
suppression of the fluorescent signal when staining was performed in the presence of
recombinant cytokines. We did not detect any specific intracellular staining when anti-IL-4 …
