The weapons of allo SCT

Depletion of host immune system Replacement of host immune system Graft vs leukemia/tumour activity Reduction of the HIV reservoir? Complete? Is there a graft vs HIV activity?

But! No lasting effect on HIV infection!

HIV infection since ´96 HAART since 2002

  • HIV-1 RNA < detection limit
  • CD4+ T-cells 300-400 /l
  • No AIDS defining illnesses

Spring 2006 weakness June ´06 anemia July ´06 pancytopenia

AML FAB M4 46XY

Donor request: 232 HLA identical!

HIV-1 requires CD4 & CCR5 or CXCR4

HIV transmission

CCR5-32 deletion = >

  • Inactive receptor
  • Frequency 10-20% (1% homozygous)
  • CCR5-32/32 resistant against R5
  • in vivo highly resistant against X4 and dual

Summary

Allo SCT in patients with HIV is feasible Allo SCT alone does not improve course of HIV infection Case of allo SCT with a CCR5-delta32 homozygous donor highlights the decisive role of CCR5 in maintaining HIV infection More cases necessary for further conclusions Can we translate this approach into a more feasible way? Allo SCT is not a “standard”-option for HIV treatment
