Cord blood stem cell transplantation is routinely used to treat hematopoietic diseases. Individuals who are homozygous for the 32 polymorphism of the CCR5 locus, encoding a co-receptor for HIV-1, are normal and are resistant to HIV infection. Here we suggest that public cord blood repositories are likely to contain CCR5 homozygous units that could be used as a therapy for HIV-infected individuals.
脐带血干细胞移植通常用于治疗血液疾病。编码 HIV-1 共受体的 CCR5 基因座的 32 位核苷酸多态性纯合子个体是正常的,并且对 HIV 感染具有抗性。在这里,我们建议公共脐带血库可能含有 CCR5 纯合子单位,可用于治疗 HIV 感染个体。
