Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) requires the presence of a CD4 receptor and a chemokine receptor, principally chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5). Homozygosity for a 32-bp deletion in the CCR5 allele provides resistance against HIV-1 acquisition. We transplanted stem cells from a donor who was homozygous for CCR5 delta32 in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and HIV-1 infection. The patient remained without viral rebound 20 months after transplantation and discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy. This outcome demonstrates the critical role CCR5 plays in maintaining HIV-1 infection.
感染1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)需要存在CD4受体和趋化因子受体,主要是趋化因子受体5(CCR5)。CCR5等位基因中32个碱基对缺失的纯合性可提供对HIV-1感染的抗性。我们将来自一名CCR5 delta32纯合供体的干细胞移植到一名患有急性髓性白血病和HIV-1感染的患者体内。该患者在移植后并停用抗逆转录病毒治疗20个月后仍未出现病毒反弹。这一结果证明了CCR5在维持HIV-1感染中所起的关键作用。
