- Title
Paving the Way Toward a Better Understanding of Viral T Cell Interactions after Stem Cell Transplantation.
- Authors
Bitan, Menachem
- Abstract
The author focuses on the implementation of virological monitoring with sensitive assays and the introduction of preemptive therapy as a routine strategy in the management of stem cell transplant recipients. The lack of immunosurveillance after transplantations may cause reactivation of endogenous viruses such as cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus and cause disease. An effective detection system had been created to discover early reactivation.
