Herpesvirus peptide–specific IFN-γ producing CD8+ T cells were detected by intracellular cytokine staining by stimulating PB or PBSCs with appropriate HLA class I–restricted viral peptide as previously described. Intravenous cyclophosphamide (2 g/m2) and subcutaneous G-CSF (10 mcg/kg) were used for PBSC mobilization. Leukapheresis was performed using a Cobe Spectra Gambro BCT continuous flow cell separator.

PBSC indicates peripheral blood stem cells; PB, peripheral blood; BM, bone marrow; NS, not significant; NA, not applicable; IFN-γ, interferon-γ; CM, central memory; EM, effector memory; and EMR, effector memory revertant.
