Overview

Viral-specific T-lymphocytes (VSTs) are an investigational adoptive cellular therapy being developed by Jessie L. Alexander at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for the treatment of refractory adenovirus and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. This therapy is specifically designed for immunocompromised patients, such as those who have undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or solid organ transplantation (SOT). The manufacturing process utilizes the Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS Cytokine Capture System (CCS) to isolate donor-derived T cells that secrete interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) upon stimulation with specific viral antigens. By enriching for these functional, virus-reactive effector cells from partially HLA-matched donors, the therapy aims to rapidly restore cellular immunity and clear persistent or refractory viremia in patients with compromised immune systems.
