Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes lifelong persistent infections in humans and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several human malignancies. Protective immunity against EBV is mediated by T cells, as indicated by an increased incidence of EBV-associated malignancies in immunocompromised patients, and by the successful treatment of EBV-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) in transplant recipients by the infusion of polyclonal EBV-specific T cell lines. To implement this treatment modality as a conventional therapeutic option, and to extend this protocol to other EBV-associated diseases, generic and more direct approaches for the generation of EBV-specific T cell lines enriched in disease-relevant specificities need to be developed. To this aim, we studied the poorly defined EBV-specific CD4+ T cell response during acute and chronic infection. (C) 2011 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
