Quantifying EBV-specific CD8⁺ T cell immunity in patients with post transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) and other EBV-driven malignancies
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) specific T cells control EBV-driven proliferation of infected B cells in vivo. Deficient EBV immunity predisposes to post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) and EBV-positive Hodgkin's disease (HD). Treatment for PTLD is reduction in immunosuppression (RIS) al...
