Abstract
P02-07. High concentrations of interleukin-15 and low concentrations of CCL5 in breast milk are associated with protection against postnatal HIV transmission
Highlights
Open AccessHigh concentrations of interleukin-15 and low concentrations of CCL5 in breast milk are associated with protection against postnatal HIV transmission
Natural variations in IL-15 concentration have not been investigated for an association with an immune-protection against HIV
Breast milk IL-15 concentration correlated with breast milk sodium, the other cytokines and HIV RNA concentration
