VirusPatient no.VST activatorGVHDAntiviral effectsReference
CMV, EBV, and ADV 26 Monocytes and LCLs transduced with ADV vector encoding CMV-pp65 Two patients developed skin rashes that responded to topical steroids Six out of 6 with EBV cleared infection; 5/6 with ADV cleared infection; 10/11 with CMV cleared infection; and 1 patient progressed despite VSTs/pharmacotherapy 24, 61 
EBV and ADV 14 Monocytes and LCLs transduced with ADV vector Three patients with skin rashes who responded to topical steroids Eleven patients treated as prophylaxis remain negative; and 2/3 patients with ADV cleared the infection 62 
CMV and ADV 40 ADV vector encoding CMV-pp65 Grade 2-4 aGVHD in 24% of the CTL cohort and 18% of the controls Fewer CMV reactivations than controls and only 1 patient required CMV-specific pharmacotherapy; immune reconstitution to CMV in CTL recipients 26, 58 
 58 
CMV and EBV DCs pulsed with EBV-LMP2, CMV-pp65, and CMV-IE peptides One patient with grade 1 Treatment: cleared in 2/2; prophylaxis: no infections in 1 patient 63 
CMV, EBV, and ADV 10 DCs nucleofected with viral antigens One patient with skin rash due to GVHD or BK infection Complete virologic responses in 8/10 patients 25 
CMV, EBV, ADV, BK, and HHV6 11 Pepmixes from immunodominant antigens One patient with stage 2 skin GVHD (grade 1 overall) Three patients treated as prophylaxis remained negative; and 8 patients with 18 viral infections/reactivations had a 94% response rate (15 complete and 2 PR) 28 
CMV, EBV, ADV, and VZV 10 Ad5f35 encoding CMV-pp65, selected EBNA-1, and LMP EBV epitopes; commercial VZV vaccine Three patients developed grade 2-4 GVHD Ten patients treated as prophylaxis with no EBV, ADV, or VZV infections, and 1 with CMV infection 59 
CMV, EBV, and ADV Monocytes and LCLs transduced with ADV vector encoding CMV-pp65 None Treatment: cleared in 1/1; prophylaxis: no infections in 2 patients 60 
CMV, EBV, and ADV 6* Pepmixes from immunodominant antigens One patient with grade 1 and 1 with grade 2 GVHD Two patients with EBV attained CR; 5 had CMV with 2 CRs; 2 with PR; and 1 failure 64
