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

“…Our results showed that the patients receiving stem cells from donors ≥40 years old were 12 times more likely to have HCMV-specific CD8+ T cells with “differentiated phenotype” (CD45RA+CCR7+ ≤6.7% and CD28+ ≤30%) than patients grafted from donors <40 years old (OR=12; P=0.014). 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). …”
