Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention discloses an ex vivo method for producing a preparation containing CD4+ T cells specific for EBV structural antigens for use in the prophylaxis and treatment of patients with a reduced T cell activity in order to prevent or treat growth of EBV infected B cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An ex vivo method for producing a preparation containing CD4+ T cells specific for EBV structural antigens, the method comprising incubating B cells with preparations of Epstein-Barr virus-like particles (EB-VLPs) containing EBV structural antigens and devoid of transforming EBV DNA for a time period sufficient to generate a preparation containing B cells presenting EBV structural antigens, wherein said B cells are primary B cells; admixing said B ce…
