Researchers Found HIV-killer Stem Cells

Researchers has found genetically created stem cells that kill HIV virus. The University of California researchers has showed that genetically created stem cells can attack HIV-infected cells in living organisms.

These researchers has identified molecules that known as T cell receptor. Then the clone guides the T cell to identify and kill HIV-infected cells and use it genetically to be incorporated into human’s blood stem cells.

When the cells was incorporated to human’s tissue that had been planted inside a rat, the cells developed into a big population. Eventually, the population in particular will target cells which contain HIV protein.

The researchers has modified human’s blood stem cell in a same way. They found that they can create fully-developed T cells that can attack HIV in a tissue where the virus is.

In a series of tests on a rat’s peripheral plasma, blood and ograns, the researchers found that the amount of HIV-infected T cell helper ‘CD4 was dead. Consequently, HIV rate in the blood decreased.

‘We believe that this study has set a foundation for potential use in combating HIV infection for those infected. There is a hope through this research to combat HIV virus from our body,’ said Scott Kitchen, assistant professor of medicine at UCLA.
