Adoptive immunotherapy for cytomegalovirus infection

Abstract

We reported a case with interstitial pneumonia associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in whom clinical improvement was observed after the treatment with primary adoptive immunotherapy. Although adoptive transfer of CMV-specific T cells offers the potential for reconstitution of viral immunity after allegoric transplantation, the logistics of producing virus-specific T-cell clones has limited the application of therapies.
