What is Virus-Specific T-Cell Therapy?
Virus-specific T-cell (VST) therapy is a type of cellular therapy. It helps the immune system fight viruses that can occur in immunocompromised people after a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or solid organ transplant. VST therapy is experimental. Researchers are studying it to see how well VST treats these viruses and if it can prevent them from occurring. So far, the results are promising.
