Abstract

EBV-associated HD and NHL show type II latency expressing subdominant EBV antigens such as LMP2, which may serve as targets for immunotherapy. Previously, we used polyclonal EBV-specific CTL in patients with relapsed EBV +ve HD and saw 2 CRs and 1 PR in 11 patients. We now hypothesize that CTL specifically targeting LMP2 might have greater efficacy. LMP2-CTL were generated using dendritic cells and lymphoblastoid cell lines which had been genetically modified to overexpress LMP2 by transduction with an Ad5f35LMP2 vector.
