Homework 2

Using Gene Modulation Techniques in Treating HIV Infected Individuals:

 

There are two known genetic copies of a rare variant of a cell surface receptor that confers resistance to HIV infection by blocking attachment of HIV to the cell.

 

We can take those genes from a [CCR5]-Δ32 homozygous individual or make them by gene building techniques.

 

Transfer those genes to cell of HIV infected patients. Use newly rising methods of gene regulation by recruiting viral vectors.
