this is from Procedings of the national academy of sciences of the united states of america...

A genetic defect in a CC-chemokine receptor (CCR)-5, the principal coreceptor for the macrophage-tropic HIV type 1 (HIV-1), recently was found to naturally protect CCR-5-defective, but healthy, individuals from HIV-1 infection. In this study, we mimic the natural resistance of the CCR-5-defective individuals by designing a strategy to phenotypically knock out CCR-5. The inactivation of the CCR-5 coreceptor is accomplished by targeting a modified CC-chemokine to the endoplasmic reticulum to block the surface expression of newly synthesized CCR-5. The lymphocytes transduced to express the intracellular chemokine, termed “intrakine,” were found to be viable and resistant to macrophage-tropic HIV-1 infection. Thus, this gene-based intrakine strategy targeted at the conserved cellular receptor for the prevention of HIV-1 entry should have significant advantages over currently described approaches for HIV-1 therapy.

looks legit to me... what do you guys think... this is the abstract but if you go to the link it gives detailed description of the process
