A single infusion of immune cells suppressed HIV for 2 years!

Detailed data on findings will soon be presented in full to the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy in Boston. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/caring-cross-announces-promising-clinical-data-with-single-dose-anti-hiv-car-t-cell-therapy-302768727.html
