Donor and recipient origin of herpesvirus-reactive lymphocytes after bone marrow transplantation. Brief report.
Cellular reactivity to herpesviruses was studied after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In 3 patients all virus-stimulated lymphocytes were of donor type. In the fourth patient, 14 per cent of the HSV stimulated cells were of recipient origin at 6 months after BMT.
