Thanks for the correction, I didn't know T cells multiply by themselves. Yet I assume they don't hang around permanently and will be sooner or later replaced by new, unmodified, cells produced by the body, hence, why I was asking

Since T cells do not reproduce by themselves, I presume the effects of modified T cells will only last until the cells exist in the body. This reminds me of a question I was wondering about since I heard about Crispr: can we use this method
