    Abstract Based on the recognition that interleukin-6 (IL-6) is produced early in infection, IL-6 determinations have been used to identify infants with early onset bacterial sepsis. This study intended to assess the value of IL-6 in maternal, cord and infant peripheral blood as an index of sepsis, and examine the relationships of its values in mother and infants. The population consisted of 17 mother/infant pairs at high risk for neonatal infection. Eight of these infants had clinical signs of possible sepsis. Cord blood IL-6 levels in infants of mothers considered to be noninfected were lower than those born to women with chorioamnionitis. There was also a positive correlation between maternal and cord blood IL-6 values. There were no differences in maternal blood IL-6, whether they had infections or not. Also, peripheral infant blood obtained after birth did not differentiate between those born to women with or without chorioamnionitis, nor did it correlate with maternal blood IL-6 levels. Clinical symptoms of the infants did not correlate with either cord or peripheral blood IL-6 values. Although maternal prepartum treatment with antibiotics and/or steroids may influence their own and their infants' blood IL-6 levels, there is insufficient evidence to consider low infant blood IL-6 level a reliable predictor to rule out early newborn sepsis.

    Abstract Background: The current goal of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) therapy is to maximally suppress viral replication. Securing this goal requires new drugs and treatment classes. The chemokine receptor CCR5 provides an entry portal for HIV-1, and PRO 140 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to CCR5 and potently inhibits CCR5-tropic (R5) HIV-1 in vitro.
    Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalating study was conducted in 39 individuals with HIV-1 RNA levels or =5000 copies/mL, CD4(+) cell counts > or =250 cells/microL, no antiretroviral therapy for 3 months, and only R5 HIV-1 detectable. Cohorts were randomized 3:10 to receive placebo or doses of PRO 140 of 0.5, 2, or 5 mg/kg. Subjects were monitored for 58 days for safety, antiviral effects, and serum concentrations of PRO 140.
    Results: PRO 140 was generally well tolerated and demonstrated potent, rapid, prolonged, and dose-dependent antiviral activity. Mean reductions in HIV-1 RNA level of 0.58 log(10), 1.20 log(10) (P= .0002) and 1.83 log(10) (P= .0001) were observed for the 0.5-, 2-, and 5-mg/kg dose groups, respectively. Reductions in mean viral load of > or =10-fold were observed within 4 days and persisted for 2-3 weeks after treatment.
    Conclusions: This trial established clear proof of concept for PRO 140 as a potent antiretroviral agent with extended activity after a single dose.
