Description

With lower CD4 counts, HIV-infected patients may not be able to produce dendritic cells and lymphocytes, special types of immune cells that generate HIV-specific CTLs. Infusion of CTLs generated from the dendritic cells and lymphocytes of an HIV-negative sibling may enable the body to recognize HIV more readily and increase immune response against the virus. Dendritic cells and lymphocytes are obtained from an HIV-negative sibling. HIV-specific CTLs are generated from these cells and then infused into the HIV-infected patient monthly for 6 months. Siblings must be able to donate on multipl...
