One study showed that use of human blood stem cells to produce cells capable of killing cells find HIV infection.
The results could lead to production of a genetic vaccine is not only good news in the fight against HIV but also can be applied against a variety of chronic diseases caused by viruses.
In works on, the researchers of the University of California AIDS Institute and colleagues from the T cells "destroy" anti-inflammatory function, called CD8 T cell leukemia, from a person infected HIV.
They then identify molecules called T cell receptors - molecules oriented T cells recognize and destroy HIV infected cells.
Although these cells have the ability to kill cells infected with HIV, but they are not sufficient in quantity to eliminate the HIV virus in the body.
So researchers have conducted human T cell receptors and genetically modified stem cells of blood, then they put the stem cells in the thymus tissue, grown in mice, to reaction studies in a living body.
Stem cells have been put into production of large quantities of mature CD8 cells capable of multi-look kill cells containing HIV proteins.
The researchers also found that receptors on T cells against HIV remains to be reconciliation with similar body organs must be consistent with transplant patients.
However, results of studies show that this method could become an effective weapon in the fight against AIDS and other researchers also hope to expand to destroy viruses by this approach.
Leading members to participate in research, Associate Professor Department of Hematology and Cancer Scott G. Kitchen, David Geffen School of Medicine of the University of California, the AIDS Institute said: "These studies lay the foundation for the development of treatment involves restoring the immune response compromised by a series virus, or even the different types of tumors cause.
