Epstein-Barr virus-induced lymphoproliferative disease (EBV-LPD) after transplantation remains a serious and life-threatening complication. Herein we showed that the aminobisphosphonate pamidronate-expanded human V gamma 9V delta 2-T cells efficiently killed EBV-transformed autologous lymphoblastoid B cell lines (EBV-LCL) through gamma/delta-TCR and NKG2D receptor triggering and Fas and TRAIL engagement. By inoculation of EBV-LCL in Rag2(-/-)gamma C-/- mice and humanized mice, we established lethal EBV-LPD with characteristics close to those of the human disease. Adoptive transfer of pamidronate-expanded V gamma 9V delta 2-T cells alone effectively prevented EBV-LPD in Rag2(-/-)gamma C-/- mice and induced EBV-LPD regression in EBV+ tumor-bearing Rag2-/-yc-/- mice. Pamidronate treatment inhibited EBV-LPD development in humanized mice through selective activation and expansion of V gamma 9V delta 2-T cells. This study provides proof-of-principle for a therapeutic approach using pamidronate to control EBV-LPD through V gamma 9V delta 2-T cell targeting.
