Stem cell therapy for HIV in EmCell Cell Therapy Center
About the clinic
Stem cell therapy for HIV at EmCell Cell Therapy Center in Kyiv, Ukraine, uses patented fetal stem cell preparations to support the immune system. The center is the world’s first clinic dedicated to this field and holds an ISO 15189-accredited laboratory license. Patients benefit from a treatment protocol developed by Prof. O. Smikodub, who holds international patents for these specific immune-substituting preparations.
Scientific Foundation and Patents
The therapy uses hematopoietic stem cell suspensions specifically designed for HIV and AIDS. This method relies on several international patents, including US Patent 6,184,033 B1 and US Patent 5,811,089. These documents cover the use of fetal suspensions as a pharmaceutical preparation for HIV infection. The center also holds patents for this treatment in the Netherlands, Greece, Ukraine, and Russia, providing a documented scientific basis for the procedure.
Expertise of Prof. O. Smikodub
Prof. O. Smikodub founded the protocols used at the clinic. He is a pioneer in fetal stem cell therapy and is named on the patents for HIV-related immune-substituting preparations. Under his guidance, the clinic has developed over 30 years of experience in this specialized field. The fetal progenitor cells used in his protocols show low immunogenicity. This means they are less likely to cause an immune response or be rejected by the body.
Safety and Laboratory Standards
Safety is maintained through a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliant biotechnology laboratory. The center operates a cryobank with over 20,000 live fetal stem cell samples. A dedicated Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) laboratory screens all materials for infections. This includes testing for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, CMV, and HPV. The clinic also confirms that these fetal progenitor cells do not differentiate into cancer cells.
Treatment Process and Patient Support
Before the procedure, patients undergo a full health check. This includes an ultrasound, ECG, EchoCG, and Doppler scan. The clinic also performs spirography and densitometry tests. After the treatment, a dedicated follow-up manager and the treating physician stay available for consultations. The service package helps with travel by providing pick-up from Kyiv stations and daily transfers between the hotel and the clinic. Interpreter support is also provided for international patients.
