　　A team at the California-based Salk Institute，one of the world's leading research centers on biological sciences，has created a special new breed of HIV and has started negotiations with the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA)to begin clinical gene therapy(治疗)trials this year.The first trials are expected to involve patients suffering from cancers that cannot be cured by surgery although project leader Professor Inder Verma said the HIV technique would have"far wider applications".
　　The plan remains very likely to cause controversy since it involves making use of a virus which has caused more than 22 million deaths around the world in the past two decades.Verma said that the idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose was"shocking'' but the fierce nature of HIV had disappeared by having all six of the potentially deadly genes removed.
