Immunodeficiency Virus-Type 1) infection. The study, being conducted at the
Medical School of the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), intends to
enroll HIV-1 infected subjects with compromised CD4+ cell counts, to determine
whether the procedure will create enough HIV-1 resistant CD4+ cells to defer
disease progression to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Enrollment is

engineered stem cells engrafted in the patient's bone marrow. The press release
issued by the Company announcing the foregoing is included as Exhibit 99.2 to
