GVHD indicates acute graft-versus-host disease; PCR, polymerase chain reaction assay; GE, genome equivalents; Sibl, HLA-identical sibling; SI, stimulation index; MM, HLA-nonidentical family member; MUD, matched unrelated donor; IP, interstitial pneumonia; and ND, not done.
Peak steroid dose.
Duration indicates the weeks of viremia as assessed by the in-house PCR method before day 100 after SCT. Viral load was measured with a COBAS Amplicor HCMV monitor. The peak viral load before day 100 is indicated.
The HLA restriction of HCMV-peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes is indicated in parentheses.
Values are the first day after SCT that T-cell reactivities were observed.
T-cell responses were assessed by intracellular interferon-γ staining, lymphoproliferation (SI), or both.
Patients who received CD34+-selected stem cells obtained with use of the CliniMACS system.
Patients who received nonmyeloablative conditioning treatment.
