The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that viral specific T-cells (a type of white
blood cell) can be generated from an unrelated donor and given safely to patients with
viral infections.

Viral reactivation and infection is a major cause of morbidity in immunocompromised
patients (including HSCT recipients). In this study we will draw blood from unrelated
(third party) donors and use the blood to generate viral specific T-cells (VSTs) with
specificity for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), adenovirus (ADV), BK
virus (BKV), and JC Virus. The VSTs will be infused into immunocompromised children with
specific viral infections (EBV, CMV, ADV, BKV , or JC virus). Cells will be selected for
infusion based on the recipient's HLA type and the viral specificity of the cells.
