GENE EDITING THERAPY FOR HIV INFECTION VIA DUAL TARGETING OF HIV GENOME AND CCR5
摘要:
Compositions for specifically cleaving target sequences in retroviruses include nucleic acids encoding a Clustered Regularly Interspace Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) associated endonuclease and a guide RNA sequence complementary to a target sequence in a retrovirus and a receptor used by a retrovirus for infecting a cell. The CRISPR construct edits, for example, proviral HIV DNA, thereby eliminating the provirus from an infected cell and simultaneously edits a viral receptor, e.g. CCR5 preventing infection and reinfection of the host.
