Gene-Edited Immune Cells Turn the Body Into a Protein Factory in Mouse Study
A Rockefeller University-led study describes a gene-editing approach that reprograms a small number of stem cells so the immune system can produce long-lasting therapeutic proteins, including protective antibodies.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers reported that editing a small number of stem cells enabled long-term antibody production in mice.
- The engineered response was boostable and protected mice from deadly influenza infections.
