abstract: |
One method for treatment of JCV and BKV-related diseases is by adoptive transfer of
virus-specific T-cells. Precursor frequency of JCV-capsid protein VP1-specific T-cells
was very low compared to other viruses. Optimized assays revealed JCV-specific T cells
with high avidity, peptide-specificity and high functional reactivity in long-term
cultures. Additionally, novel, naturally processed JCV-VP1-derived CD8+ T cell epitopes
were identified. These new data contribute to the development of therapies that, due
to their cross-reactivity, target both polyomaviruses-related diseases simultaneously.
