A technology has been developed that can prevent deadly influenza with a single injection by genetically editing just dozens of hematopoietic stem cells to continuously produce protective antibodies. The technology uses CRISPR gene editing to directly insert a rare protective antibody gene into hematopoietic stem cells, which then generate antibody-producing B cells after transplantation. The research team plans to confirm the technology’s potential applications in a range of diseases, including HIV and genetic disorders, and proceed to studies in nonhuman primates.
