However, expansion of gene-modified HIV target cells has been limited in patients. Alternative genetic strategies focus on generating gene-modified producer cells that secrete antiviral proteins (AVPs). The secreted AVPs interfere with HIV entry, and, therefore, they extend the protection against infection to unmodified HIV target cells. Since any cell type can potentially secrete AVPs, hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell lineages can function as producer cells. Secretion of AVPs from non-hematopoietic cells opens the possibility of using a genetic approach for HIV prevention. Another strategy aims at modifying cytotoxic T cells to selectively target and eliminate infected cells. This review provides an overview of the different genetic approaches for HIV treatment and prevention. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
