“Scientists have identified a new HIV-suppressing protein in the blood of people infected with the virus.

Monitoring for Potential Adverse Effects of Prenatal Gene Therapy: Genotoxicity Analysis In Vitro and on Small Animal Models Ex Vivo and In Vivo
Gene delivery by integrating vectors has the potential to cause genotoxicity in the host by insertional mutagenesis (IM). Previously, the risk of IM by replication incompetent retroviral vectors was believed to be small. However, the recent observation of leukaemic events due to gamma retroviral vector insertion and activation of the LMO-2 proto-oncogene in patients enrolled in the French and British gene therapy trials for X-SCID demonstrates the need to understand vector associated genotoxicity in greater detail. These findings have led to the development of in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo assays designed to predict genot...

The finding could lead to the development of a diagnostic test to determine drug hypersensitivity.

The immune system then attacks the foreign nature of the tissues as if they were incompatible transplants. The study showed the biological mechanisms by which a person's exact tissue type determined whether they would develop the drug allergy or not...

“A team of researchers led by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has discovered a new mechanism for identifying and understanding drug-related autoimmune reactions.
“In an article available online today in the journal AIDS, the team found that in certain at-risk patients, the anti-HIV drug Ziagen (abacavir) causes the immune system to ‘see’ a patient’s own healthy tissues and proteins as a foreign invader. The effect is similar to what happens when the immune system recognizes a viral or bacterial protein during an infection.
