A Clinical Trial of Retroviral-Mediated Transfer of arev-Responsive Element Decoy Gene Into CD34+Cells From the Bone Marrow of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1–Infected Children

Abstract excerpt

Genetic modification of hematopoietic stem cells with genes that inhibit replication of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) could lead to development of T lymphocytes and monocytic cells resistant to HIV-1 infection after transplantation. We performed a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and feasibility of this procedure, using bone marrow from four HIV-1-infected pediatric subjects (ages 8 to 17 years). We...
