Engineering HIV-Resistant, Anti-HIV Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells.

The treatment or cure of HIV infection by cell and gene therapy has been a goal for decades. Recent advances in both gene editing and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology have created new therapeutic possibilities for a variety of diseases. Broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (bNAbs) with specificity for the HIV envelope glycoprotein provide a promising means of targeting HIV-infected cells.
