California scientists make cells RESISTANT to HIV stat : Daily Mail Online

These resistant cells can quickly replace diseased cells, making it more effective than other therapies - and potentially curing the deadly disease. Researchers have found a way to make cells resistant to HIV, a new report reveals. In a major breakthrough, scientists have tethered HIV-fighting antibodies to immune cells, creating a cell population resistant to the virus.

Cells without antibody protection died off, leaving protected cells to survive and multiply, passing on the protective gene to new cells.

With the center's expertise in this field, The Scripps Research Institute's science is a natural fit, Zaia said. On Monday, scientists from The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla announced they had conceptually demonstrated an entirely new method of blocking HIV.

The "vaccine," Lerner said, is an HIV-blocking antibody genetically engineered into blood-forming stem cells, which give rise to immune cells.
