Abstract
Although advancements have been made in monitoring and preventing viral infections in HSCT patients, CMV reactivation still remains a critical post-transplant complication. Adoptive cell therapy is an alternative to pharmacotherapy of CMV infection in refractory patients. We retrospectively reviewed CMV infection cases after allogeneic HSCT who received U-DLI as treatment. In total, five pediatric patients between the ages of 0.5-16 years that received U-DLI for a post-HSCT CMV infection were evaluated. The dose of CD3+ lymphocytes administered in DLI was 5 × 104 /kg, except in one patient transplanted from his sibling. One patient, who was transplanted from an unrelated donor, received U-DLI from his haploidentical mother. CMV titers dramatically reduced after U-DLI. If the availability of CMV-specific CTL is an issue, we propose that one should consider using the U-DLI therapy with low cell dose from a seropositive donor. In case the stem cell donor is seronegative and a seropositive donor is unavailable, using the U-DLI therapy from seropositive, haploidentical donors is a promising way of treatment. More studies need to be conducted to further confirm the safety and efficacy of this treatment procedure.

Abstract
CD34+ cell selection minimizes graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after haploidentical donor stem cell transplant but is associated with slow immune recovery and infections. We report a Phase I/II study of prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) followed by methotrexate (MTX) GVHD prophylaxis after CD34-selected haploidentical donor transplant. A prophylactic DLI was given between day +30 and +42. Rituximab was given with DLI for the last 10 patients. The goal of the study was to determine a DLI dose that would result in a CD4+ cell count > 100/µL at Day +120 in ≥ 66% of patients with ≤ 33% grade II-III, ≤ 17% grade III, and no grade IV acute GVHD by Day +180. Thirty-five patients with malignant (n = 25) or nonmalignant disease (n = 10) were treated after CD34-selected haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant. The DLI dose of 5 × 104 /kg met the CD4/GVHD goal with 67% of patients having CD4+ cells > 100/µL and 11% grade II-IV acute GVHD. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 16%. Fatal viral and fungal infections occurred in 11%. The 2 year estimated overall survival was 69% and the relapse rate was 14% for patients in remission at transplant. There was no effect of NK alloreactivity on relapse. Nine of ten patients at the target DLI dose cohort of 5 × 104 /kg are alive with median follow-up of 18 mos (range 6-29). Delayed prophylactic DLI and MTX was associated with promising outcomes at the target DLI dose. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov, # NCT01027702.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is associated with serious complications, and improvement of the overall clinical outcome of patients with hematological malignancies is necessary. During the last decades, posttransplant donor-derived adoptive cellular immunotherapeutic strategies have been progressively developed for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), infectious complications, and tumor relapses. To date, the common challenge of all these cell-based approaches is their implementation for clinical application. Establishing an appropriate manufacturing process, to guarantee safe and effective therapeutics with simultaneous consideration of economic requirements is one of the most critical hurdles. In this review, we will discuss the recent scientific findings, clinical experiences, and technological advances for cell processing toward the application of mesenchymal stromal cells as a therapy for treatment of severe GvHD, virus-specific T cells for targeting life-threating infections, and of chimeric antigen receptors-engineered T cells to treat relapsed leukemia.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis is challenging tuberculosis control worldwide. In the absence of an effective vaccine to prevent primary infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and tuberculosis disease, host-directed therapies may offer therapeutic options, particularly for patients with multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis where prognosis is often limited. CD8+ and CD4+ T cells mediate antigen-specific adaptive cellular immune responses. Their use in precision immunotherapy in clinical conditions, especially in treating cancer as well as for prevention of life-threatening viral infections in allogeneic transplant recipients, demonstrated safety and clinical efficacy. We review key achievements in T-cell therapy, including the use of recombinant immune recognition molecules (eg, T-cell receptors and CD19 chimeric antigen receptors), and discuss its potential in the clinical management of patients with drug-resistant and refractory tuberculosis failing conventional therapy.

Abstract
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality associated with conventional allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). The use of T-cell depletion significantly reduces this complication. Recent prospective and retrospective data suggest that, in patients with AML in first complete remission, CD34+ selected grafts afford overall and relapse-free survival comparable to those observed in recipients of conventional grafts, while significantly decreasing GVHD. In addition, CD34+ selected grafts allow older patients, and those with medical comorbidities or with only HLA-mismatched donors to successfully undergo transplantation. Prospective data are needed to further define which groups of patients with AML are most likely to benefit from CD34+ selected grafts. Here we review the history of T-cell depletion in AML, and techniques used. We then summarize the contemporary literature using CD34+ selection in recipients of matched or partially mismatched donors (7/8 or 8/8 HLA-matched), and provide a summary of the risks and benefits of using T-cell depletion.

Abstract
For infants with SCID the ideal conditioning regimen before allogeneic HCT would omit cytotoxic chemotherapy to minimize short- and long-term complications. We performed a prospective pilot trial with alemtuzumab monotherapy to overcome NK-cell mediated immunologic barriers to engraftment. We enrolled four patients who received CD34-selected haploidentical cells, two of whom failed to engraft donor T cells. The two patients who engrafted had delayed T-cell reconstitution, despite rapid clearance of circulating alemtuzumab. Although well-tolerated, alemtuzumab failed to overcome immunologic barriers to donor engraftment. Furthermore, alemtuzumab may slow T-cell development in patients with SCID in the setting of a T-cell depleted graft.

Abstract
We conducted a prospective phase II trial utilizing the CliniMACs system to perform CD34(+)-cell selection of PBSCs from haploidentical donors to evaluate engraftment and hematoimmunological reconstitution. In total, 21 children with hematological malignancies or nonmalignant conditions underwent conditioning with 1200 cGy TBI, thiotepa, fludarabine and Thymoglobulin. Patients received megadoses of CD34(+) cells (median: 22 × 10(6)/kg) with a fixed dose of 3 × 10(4)/kg CD3(+) cells/kg, and engraftment occurred in 90% with prompt recovery of neutrophils and platelets. Grade II acute GVHD (aGVHD) was seen in 32% (95% confidence interval (CI), 15-54%) of evaluable patients, there was no grade III-IV aGVHD, and chronic extensive GVHD was seen in 35% (95% CI, 17-59%) of patients. The estimated 2-year EFS was 62% (95% CI, 48-83%) with a median survivor follow-up of 49 months (range: 18-119 months). Patients with nonmalignant diseases had an estimated 2-year EFS of 100% (95% CI, 56-100%) and patients with malignancies in remission had an estimated 2-year EFS of 56% (95% CI, 22-89%). Megadose CD34(+) cells with a fixed CD3(+) cell dose from haploidentical related donors resulted in good outcomes for pediatric patients with nonmalignant diseases and those with malignant diseases transplanted in remission.

Abstract
Inherited defects in components of the nonhomologous end-joining DNA repair mechanism produce a T-B-NK+ severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) characterized by heightened sensitivity to ionizing radiation. Patients with the radiosensitive form of SCID may also have increased short- and long-term sensitivity to the alkylator-based chemotherapy regimens that are traditionally used for conditioning before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Known causes of radiosensitive SCID include deficiencies of Artemis, DNA ligase IV, DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, and Cernunnos-XLF, all of which have been treated with HCT. Because of these patients' sensitivity to certain forms of chemotherapy, the approach to donor selection and the type of conditioning regimen used for a patient with radiosensitive SCID requires careful consideration. Significantly more research needs to be done to determine the long-term outcomes of patients with radiosensitive SCID after HCT and to discover novel nontoxic approaches to HCT that might benefit those patients with intrinsic radiosensitivity and chemosensitivity as well as potentially all patients undergoing an HCT.
