A new therapeutic approach involves delivering a protective gene to the cells of an infected person using gene therapy. A recent trial conducted by Johnson & Johnson Australia showed that anti-HIV gene therapy is safe and biologically active. We have continued investigation of gene therapy with researchers at Calimmune, through an ARC Linkage Grant: "Can an anti-HIV gene in blood stem cells protect from immune depletion by HIV?"...."
