This project explores a new strategy to eliminate the latent HIV reservoir using antiCD4-CAR CD8+ T cells. This approach mimics the allo-reactive effect of transplants but without their risks, specifically targeting infected CD4+ cells while preserving the rest of the immune system. Experiments in in vitro and in vivo models will help validate this strategy as a step toward a potential HIV cure.
