Clinical Factors Influencing Phenotype of HCMV-Specific CD8+ T Cells and HCMV-Induced Interferon-Gamma Production after Allogeneic Stem Cells Transplantation by Inmaculada Gayoso, Sara Cantisán, Carolina Cerrato, Joaquín Sánchez-García, Carmen Martin, Rafael Solana, Antonio Torres-Gomez, Julian Torre-Cisneros

“…In addition, a detectable IFN-γ production in response to HCMV peptides (cutoff 0.2 IU/mL IFN-γ; “reactive” QuantiFERON-HCMV test) was statistically associated with HCMV replication after transplantation (OR=11; P=0.026), recipients ≥40 versus <40 years old (OR=11; P=0.026), and the use of peripheral blood versus bone marrow as stem cell source (OR=17.5; P=0.024). In conclusion, donor age is the only factor significantly associated with the presence of the “differentiated phenotype” in HCMV-specific CD8+ T cells, whereas HCMV replication after transplantation, recipient age, and stem cell source are the factors associated with the production of IFN-γ in response to HCMV epitopes.…”
