Decrease in CMV load following T-cell therapy.

The viral load of all 7 patients with detectable CMV DNA at the time of T-cell transfer is presented (virus copies/mL blood). In 3 patients (nos. 1, 5, and 8), virus load increased again, but responded to a second T-cell infusion in patient no. 5 (Figure 5). The increase in virus load in the later posttransplant period in these 3 patients (nos. 1, 5, and 8) is described in detail in the Results and in Figure5 (patient no. 5) and Figure 6 (patient no. 8).
