    Notes: Abstract We evaluated the use of a whole-blood assay that measures spontaneous and activation-induced CD69 expression on peripheral blood T-cells in vitro for assessment of T-cell function in HIV-1-infected paediatric patients. Heparinized venous blood from 28 HIV-1 positive children and adolescents and 23 healthy controls was incubated for 4 h with or without 5 μg/ml phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). Thereafter, analysis of CD69 expression on CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells was done by flow cytometry; simultaneously we determined CD4+ T-cell counts and plasma HIV-1 viral load. Neither spontaneous nor PHA-induced CD69 expression differed significantly between HIV-1 positive patients and healthy controls. However, T-cells from HIV-1 positive patients with plasma HIV-1 viral load levels above 70 × 103 copies/ml showed a higher spontaneous CD69 expression than T-cells from patients with lower plasma viral load levels in different stages of the disease. Antiretroviral treatment in four patients reduced spontaneous CD69 expression in CD4+ T-cells and PHA-induced CD69 expression in CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells significantly after 8 weeks of therapy. Conclusion Spontaneous and activation-induced expression of the early (activation) antigen CD69 on peripheral blood T-cells does not distinguish HIV-1 positive patients from HIV-1 negative healthy controls and is not correlated with peripheral blood CD4+ T-cell counts. This test may not be a reliable marker for functional T-cell deficiency during early stages of HIV disease. Increased spontaneous as well as PHA-induced CD69 expression on T-cells from HIV-1-infected children and adolescents in vitro may rather reflect HIV-induced pre-activation of T-cells in vivo.

    Notes: Abstract By optical interference and VUV spectroscopy the doublet system of SbI 5p 26s was investigated, so that now the hyperfinestructure of all 8 levels of 5p 26s (A- andB-splitting constants) are known. From the analysis we receive a spin-orbit parameter ζ5p =3,538(57) cm−1 and from the hyperfine-analysis single electron splitting constantsa 5p 01 =52.4(4.6),a 5p 10 =−1.6(7.3),a 5p 12 =72.3(2.3),a 6s 10 =91.7(4.1),b 5p 02 =−49.6(1.1) andb 5p 11 =30.4(3.2) (all values in mK). For all calculations in the fs- and hfs-analysis the 5p 26s 2 D 3/2 has to be excluded (see discussion). With the figures given above the quadrupole moment121 Q(5p 26s)=−0.44(3) barn was obtained. It is in good agreement with the121 Q(5p 3). For the core-polarization by the 5p electron in the innerfieldns-shells (n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and the unpaired 6s electron a field of +500(300) kG was obtained.
