Well look at that shit.
Ironically, HIV might eventually save more lives than it takes. Can't really say that I saw that one coming a few years ago. |

Pretty awesome.
This has applications, ya think?  Expect many variations on the theme, including modified white blood cells that destroy your excess fat cells, and can be stopped when your weight loss is complete by taking a drug that tells the modified cells to self-destruct. CJ |

That is outstanding. My dad got really lucky with something similar to this years ago. He had malignant melanoma that had metastasized, and things did not look good. He was picked for an experimental vaccine being tried for skin cancer, and it worked.

Your question is hard to answer at this time. Essentially it boils down to attacking tumor cells which express certain molecules on their surface. Solid tumors could be targeted, but if they mutated and stopped expressing the target on their surface, the therapy would stop working. That is to say, the mutant subclone lacking the surface antigen would proliferate as its neighbors continued to die, eventually taking over such that 100% of the tumor mass comes from the mutant subclone, against which the T-cell therapy discussed is ineffective. I think it's very exciting, though. Stuff like this has been tried for years but this is the first really successful result. eta: We don't even know that this will work in other Leukemias, yet. In fact, there are some undesirable side-effects (marked or absolute B-lymphopenia and hypogammaglobulinemia) which persist, the long-term effect of which is unknown. |

Sure, lets take the genes from HIV put it into some white blood cells, then lets add a gene that causes the white blood cells to divide a few thousand fold and inject it into someone with cancer. What could possibly go wrong? This is how zombie apocalypses start gentlemen. Don't get me wrong, it will be great if it works but if you can't see the potential risks you should be messing with this stuff. Edit: What I want to know is, what are the HIV genes are doing that the white blood cells can't do on their own and why aren't the white blood cells killing everything in it's path while diving uncontrollably? |
