Adoptive T-cell therapy with hexon-specific Th1 cells as a treatment of refractory adenovirus infection after HSCT.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has improved over the last few decades. However, viral infections are often refractory to pharmacologic treatment and require alternative treatment strategies such as immunotherapy. Adenovirus (AdV) is th predominant disease-causing pathogen in pediatric HSCT. In a clinical trial, we analyzed safety and efficacy of ex vivo adoptive T-cell transfer ...
متن کاملCurative or pre-emptive adenovirus-specific T cell transfer from matched unrelated or third party haploidentical donors after HSCT, including UCB transplantations: a successful phase I/II multicenter clinical trial
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the most widely used potentially curable cellular immunotherapeutic approach in the treatment of hematological malignancies, is limited by life-threatening complications: graft versus host disease (GVHD) and infections especially viral infections refractory to antiviral drugs. Adoptive transfer of virus-specific T cells is be...
متن کاملAntigen-specific CD8(+) T cells persist in the upper respiratory tract following influenza virus infection.
Because little is known about lymphocyte responses in the nasal mucosa, lymphocyte accumulation in the nasal mucosa, nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT), and cervical lymph nodes (CLN) were determined after primary and heterosubtypic intranasal influenza challenge of mice. T cell accumulation peaked in the nasal mucosa on day 7, but peaked slightly earlier in the CLN (day 5) and later (day ...
متن کاملin vitro expansion of antigen-specific natural regulatory t cells in hepatitis c virus infection mediated by core antigen
objective: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is one of the most relevant persistent infections afflicting the human population. control of viral replication in hcv infection has been associated with the cellular component of the host immune response. several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this abnormal immune response, among them an altered activity of regulatory t cells (tregs) being the most ...
متن کاملThe Enigma of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type-1 (HTLV-1) Infection in Iran
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I) was the first human retrovirus associated with malignancy. The prevalence of HTLV-I infection varies significantly in different regions of the world. In this study, the prevalence of HTLV-I infection among ethnic Jews living in Shiraz, South of Iran, was investigated. 286 blood samples were obtained. HTLV-1 antibody assay on serum samples was d...
