The Impact of Pre- and Week 4 Post-Transplant CMV-Specific Elispot Assay on CMV Reactivation and Survival in CMV-Seropositive Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (Allo-HCT) Recipients
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: Background: CMV infection causes significant morbidity and mortality in allo-HCT. CMV cell-mediated immunity (CMI), assessed by engrafted T cell production of IFN-γ, is a major mechanism to control CMV replication. The potential role of pre- and post-transplant CMI and its impact on CMV replication and survival is not well understood.
