Viruses engineered to attack themselves. Back to Gallery. Leor Weinberger calls it hijacking the hijacker. In his lab at the Gladstone Institutes, he's developed a technique for harnessing stray bits of HIV-a virus that infects and ultimately kills immune cells-and using them to attack the virus itself.ifferent viruses infect different types of cells.
