Immunosuppression resulting in impaired Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific T-cell immunity is involved in the pathogenesis of EBV-positive post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV(+) PTLD). Restoration of EBV-specific T-cell immunity by adoptive immunotherapy can induce remission. EBV-nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA1) is unique in being expressed in all cases of EBV(+) PTLD. Recent data demonstrate that...
