Abstract
HIV entry into CD4(+) cells requires interaction with a cellular receptor, generally either CCR5 or CXCR4. We have previously reported the case of an HIV-infected patient in whom viral replication remained absent despite discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy after transplantation with CCR5Δ32/Δ32 stem cells. However, it was expected that the long-lived viral reservoir would lead to HIV rebound and disease progression during the process of immune reconstitution. In the present study, we demonstrate successful reconstitution of CD4(+) T cells at the systemic level as well as in the gut mucosal immune system after CCR5Δ32/Δ32 stem cell transplantation, while the patient remains without any sign of HIV infection. This was observed although recovered CD4(+) T cells contain a high proportion of activated memory CD4(+) T cells, ie, the preferential targets of HIV, and are susceptible to productive infection with CXCR4-tropic HIV. Furthermore, during the process of immune reconstitution, we found evidence for the replacement of long-lived host tissue cells with donor-derived cells, indicating that the size of the viral reservoir has been reduced over time. In conclusion, our results strongly suggest that cure of HIV has been achieved in this patient.

有点神奇,那么是否可以认为在现代医学中,我们国家也可以这么治呢?或者是说,通过换骨髓的方法来治愈艾滋病呢。

带来希望,前途艰难!

希望:
      Cells of persons homozygous for the CCR5 gene variant Δ32 (CCR5Δ32/Δ32) are naturally resistant to infection with CCR5-tropic HIV strains (R5 HIV) ...

艰难:
           1、...The absence of the CCR5 wild-type gene variant in donor cells provided us with the possibility to discriminate between donor- and host-derived immune cells...
       2、...These findings argue for the absence of HIV disease progression in the largest component of the lymphoid organ system...
