Adoptive transfer of rapidly-generated multivirus-specific T cells to treat Adv, EBV, CMV, BK and HHV6 infections of HSCT recipients
Severe and fatal viral infections remain common after HSCT. Adoptive transfer of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for EBV, CMV and Adv antigens can treat infections that are impervious to conventional therapies, but extension to additional viruses has been limited by competition between virus-derived antigens and laborious manufacturing procedures. We are now evaluating whether infusion ...
متن کاملTowards gene therapy for EBV-associated posttransplant lymphoma with genetically modified EBV-specific cytotoxic T cells.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated posttransplant lymphoma (PTLD) is a major cause of morbidity/mortality after hematopoietic stem cell (SCT) or solid organ (SOT) transplant. Adoptive immunotherapy with EBV-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs), although effective in SCT, is less successful after SOT where lifelong immunosuppression therapy is necessary. We have genetically engineered EBV-CTLs...
متن کاملIncreasing the purity, potency and specificity of ebv-specific T cells to improve the treatment of EBV-positive lymphoma
Results Although T2LP-specific EBVSTs could be generated from healthy-donors, we were unable to consistently generate EBVSTs with significant T2LP specificity from patients. We hypothesized that patient T cells were anergic to antigen expressed within tumors, and since IL-15 has been shown to rescue tolerant or anergic T cells, we replaced IL-4 with IL-15 (in combination with IL-7). This improv...
متن کاملThe impact of HLA class I and EBV latency‐II antigen‐specific CD8+ T cells on the pathogenesis of EBV+ Hodgkin lymphoma
In 40% of cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latency-II antigens [EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1)/latent membrane protein (LMP)1/LMP2A] are present (EBV(+) cHL) in the malignant cells and antigen presentation is intact. Previous studies have shown consistently that HLA-A*02 is protective in EBV(+) cHL, yet its role in disease pathogenesis is unknown. To explore th...
متن کاملIslet Amyloid Polypeptide is not a Target Antigen for CD8+ T-Cells in Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder in which beta-cells are destroyed. The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) produced by beta-cells has been reported to influence beta-cell destruction. Objective: To evaluate if IAPP can act as an autoantigen and therefore, to see if CD8 + T-cells specific for this protein might be present in T2D patients. Methods: Peripheral blood ...
