Direct visualization of cytomegalovirus-specific T-cell reconstitution after allogeneic stem cell transplantation
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), but cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) may play a critical role in controlling CMV reactivation. Fluorescent HLA-peptide tetramers containing immunodominant peptides from CMV were used to prospectively monitor the recovery of CMV CTL in recipients of allogeneic transplants from siblings (n =...
