NIH Websites Are Changing
Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

donor derived HIV-Specific T cells with non-escaped epitope targets

A preparation of ex vivo expanded donor-derived (DD) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific T cells (HSTs) with non-escaped epitope targets (NEETs), that can potentially be used to eliminate HIV-infected cells and eradicate HIV. Upon administration, DD HST-NEETs target and kill HIV-infected cells, thereby eradicating HIV. HST-NEETs recognize multiple conserved, non-escaped HIV epitopes and their common variants, which is important in killing latently infected cells and could reduce viral escape.
