Patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID) have an increased risk from acute and chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) viral infections and EBV-associated malignancies. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative strategy for many patients with PID, but EBV-related complications are common in the immediate post-transplant period due to delayed reconstitution of T cell immunity. Adoptive T cell therapy with EBV-specific T cells is a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with PID both before and after HSCT. Here we review the methods used to manufacture EBV-specific T cells, the clinical outcomes, and the ongoing challenges for future development of the strategy.
原发性免疫缺陷病(PID)患者发生急性和慢性 EBV(Epstein-Barr Virus)病毒感染和 EBV 相关恶性肿瘤的风险增加。造血干细胞移植(HSCT)是许多 PID 患者的一种根治策略,但由于 T 细胞免疫重建延迟,HSCT 后即刻期 EBV 相关并发症很常见。在 HSCT 前后,使用 EBV 特异性 T 细胞的过继性 T 细胞治疗是 PID 患者有希望的治疗策略。在此,我们综述了 EBV 特异性 T 细胞的制备方法、临床结果以及该策略未来发展所面临的挑战。
