Preemptive antiviral therapy for active CMV infection in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients guided by immunological and virological parameters minimizes the risk of recurrent viremia in a subset of patients.
Immunological Monitoring to Rationally Guide AAV Gene Therapy
2013
Recent successes with adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies fuel the hope for new treatments for hereditary diseases. Pre-existing as well as therapy-induced immune responses against both AAV and the encoded transgenes have been described and may impact on safety and efficacy of gene-therapy approaches. Consequently, monitoring of vector- and transgene-specific immunity is mandated and may rationally guide clinical development. Next to the humoral immune response, the cellular response is central in our understanding of the host reaction in gene therapy. But in contrast to the monitoring of antibodies, which has matured over many decades, sensitive and robust monitoring of T cel…
