Abstract Background Thus far gene therapy strategies for HIV AIDS have used either conventional retroviral vectors or lentiviral vectors for gene transfer. Although highly efficient their use poses a certain degree of risk in terms of viral mediated oncogenesis. Sleeping Beauty SB transposon system offers a non-viral method of gene transfer to avoid this possible risk. With respect to conferring HIV resistance stable knock down of HIV-1 coreceptors CCR5 and CXCR4 by the use of lentiviral vector delivered siRNAs has proved to be a promising strategy to protect cells from HIV-1 infection. In the current studies our aim is to evaluate the utility of SB system for stable gene transfer of CCR5 and CXCR4 siRNA genes to derive HIV resistant cells as a first step towards using this system for gene therapy. Results Two well characterized siRNAs against the HIV-1 coreceptors CCR5 and CXCR4 were chosen based on their previous efficacy for the SB transposon gene delivery. The siRNA transgenes were incorporated individually into a modified SB transfer plasmid
