An experimental gene therapy that makes use of an unlikely helper, the AIDS virus, has successfully treated 48 out of 50 children who were born without an immune system due to a deadly disorder, a new study shows.
Such results were published on Tuesday by the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at an online American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy conference.
All but two of the 50 children who were given the experimental therapy as part of the study now have healthy germ-fighting abilities.
“We’re taking what otherwise would have been a fatal disease” and healing most of these children with a single treatment, study leader Donald Kohn of UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital, told the Associated Press news agency.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) went to town on Dr. Anthony Fauci Tuesday during a Tuesday hearing in front of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee.
Paul alleged that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had used a middle-man to funnel money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology via EcoHealth Alliance - which worked with the lab on bat coronavirus projects.
Paul specifically referenced so-called gain-of-function research which in this case has been focused on how to make animal viruses more transmissible to humans - specifically
bat coronaviruses. Government scientists like yourself who favor gain of function research, Paul began.

(AP) A gene therapy that makes use of an unlikely helper, the AIDS virus, gave a working immune system to 48 babies and toddlers who were born without one, doctors reported Tuesday.
Results show that all but two of the 50 children who were given the experimental therapy in a study now have healthy germ-fighting abilities.
