A cure of HIV-1 infection has previously been described in two individuals undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants from homozygous carriers of the CCR5Δ32 gene variant, which confers HIV-1 resistance. Two recent reports corroborate these earlier studies, underscoring that in HIV-1-infected persons with hematologic malignancies, these procedures may provide a realistic perspective for a cure of HIV-1 infection.
此前有两例接受来自 CCR5Δ32 基因变异纯合子携带者的同种异体造血干细胞移植的 HIV-1 感染者被治愈,该变异可赋予 HIV-1 抗性。最近的两项研究报告证实了这些早期研究,强调在患有血液系统恶性肿瘤的 HIV-1 感染者中,这些治疗方法可能为治愈 HIV-1 感染提供现实的前景。
