Adenovirus‐ and cytomegalovirus‐specific adoptive T‐cell therapy in the context of hematologic cell transplan or HIV infection – A single‐center experience

Reactivation of viral infections, in particular cytomegalovirus (CMV) and adenovirus (ADV), cause morbidity and non-relapse-mortality in states of immune deficiency, especially after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Against the background of few available pharmacologic antiviral agents, limited by toxicities and resistance, adoptive transfer of virus-specific T-cells (VST) is a promising therapeutic approach.
