Allogeneic HAdV Antigen-specific T-lymphocytes

**Semantic type:** Cell|Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** A population of allogeneic T-lymphocytes specifically reactive to human adenovirus (HAdV) with potential antiviral activity. Allogeneic HAdV antigen-specific T-cells are prepared via ex vivo stimulation of donor-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with HAdV hexon protein. T-cells that secrete interferon (IFN)-gamma in response to HAdV antigen exposure are selected and expanded for administration. Infusion of the HAdV antigen-specific T-lymphocytes into hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients infected with HAdV may potentially reconstitute virus-specific responses, thereby controlling HAdV infections.

**Synonyms:** - Allogeneic HAdV Antigen-selected T-cells - Allogeneic HAdV Antigen-selected T-lymphocytes - Allogeneic HAdV Antigen-specific T-cells - Allogeneic Human Adenovirus-specific T-lymphocytes
