SCIENTIFICALLY MODULATED AND REPROGRAMMED TREATMENT (SMART) FAS/FASL VIRUS TECHNOLOGY INTENDED TO NEUTRALIZE T-HELPER CELLS INFECTED WITH THE HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS

摘要

Scientifically Modulated And Reprogrammed Treatment (SMART) Virus Fas/FasL technology is intended to terminate T-Helper cells infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The SMART-Fas/FasL Virus carrying Fas and FasL cell-surface receptors is capable of engaging a T-Helper cell infected by HIV that is expressing one or more FasL cell-surface receptors. When a T-Helper cell infected with HIV encounters a SMART-Fas/FasL Virus, the infected T-Helper cell's FasL cell-surface receptor will engage the SMART-Fas/FasL Virus's Fas receptor, then the SMART-Fas/FasL Virus's FasL will engage the infected T-Helper cell's Fas receptor, which will initiate apoptosis in the infected T-Helper cell. Given the HIV infected T-Helper cell will be triggered to die, HIV's safe haven inside the T-Helper cell will be eliminated and the threat of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome caused by HIV is averted.
