Is it possible to clone T-helper cells for use in the treatment of HIV / Aids?? |
Assuming one finds unaffected T-helper cells to clone... Yes, and it's interesting that you mention that, because my school gave us a lecture on that very topic. The T-cells, once they establish self-tolerance, could be selected for resistance against the virus, and cloned to reestablish the T-cell population within the immunocompromised host. It is currently very complicated and expensive though, so the technology is being developed, but it is thought to be a potential therapy that may one day greatly benefit patients. T-helper cells are matured and developed from stem cells within the body and are not created in the laboratory yet. |
