Recovery of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T-cell-mediated
immunity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT)
is critical for protection against CMV disease. The study used
fluorochrome-conjugated tetrameric complexes of HLA-A2 molecules loaded
with the immunodominant NLVPMVATV (NLV) peptide derived from the CMV
protein pp65 to quantify A2-NLV-specific CD8+ T cells in
partially T-cell-depleted grafts administered to 27 HLA-A*0201+ patients and to monitor recovery of these T
cells during the first 12 months after SCT. None of the 9 CMV-seronegative patients became infected with CMV, whereas 14 of 18 CMV-seropositive patients developed CMV antigenemia after SCT.
CMV-seropositive recipients of grafts from CMV-seronegative donors
required more preemptive treatment with ganciclovir (GCV) than those of
grafts from CMV-seropositive donors (3 [1-6] versus 1 [0-3]
courses, respectively; P = .009). The number of
A2-NLV-specific CD8+ T cells in the grafts correlated
inversely with the number of preemptive GCV courses administered
(r = 0.61; P = .01). None of the 9 CMV-seronegative patients mounted a CMV-specific immune response as
measured by monitoring A2-NLV-specific CD8+ T cells after
SCT. Thirteen of 14 CMV-seropositive patients without CMV disease
recovered these T cells. In spite of preemptive GCV treatment, CMV
disease developed in 4 patients, who all failed to recover
A2-NLV-specific CD8+ T cells after SCT
(P = .002). Thus, enumeration of HLA-restricted, CMV-specific CD8+ T cells in the grafts and monitoring of
these T cells after SCT may constitute a rapid and sensitive tool to
identify SCT recipients at risk for developing CMV disease.
