drug_mechanism_of_action
Donor-derived CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes are briefly stimulated with CMV, EBV, and adenovirus peptides and IFN-γ–secreting cells are magnetically captured, enriching for virus-specific TCR specificities. After infusion, these unengineered T cells recognize HLA-presented viral epitopes via their native TCRs, secrete Th1 cytokines (e.g., IFN-γ), and kill infected cells through perforin/granzyme-mediated cytotoxicity, expanding in vivo to restore antiviral immunity in allo-HSCT recipients.
