Lentivector Knockdown of CCR5 in Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Confers Functional and Persistent HIV-1 Resistance in Humanized Mice.

Lentivector Knockdown of CCR5 in Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Confers Functional and Persistent HIV-1 Resistance in Humanized Mice.

Gene-engineered CD34(+) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) can be utilized to generate an HIV-1-resistant immune system. Nevertheless, a sure threshold of transduced HSPCs is perhaps required for transplantation into mice for creating an HIV-resistant immune system. On this examine, we mixed CCR5 knockdown by a extremely environment friendly microRNA (miRNA) lentivector with pretransplantation number…
