Cord blood transplantation (CBT) is curative for many patients with hematologic malignancies but is associated with delayed immune recovery and an increased risk of viral infections compared to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation. In this study we evaluated the significance of lymphocyte recovery in 125 consecutive patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent double-unit CBT (DUCBT) with an anti-thymocyte globulin-containing regimen at our institution. A subset of 65 patients were prospectively evaluated for recovery of T, natural killer (NK) and B cells and in 46 patients we also examined viral-specific T cell recovery against Adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, BK virus, respiratory syncytial virus and Influenza antigen. Our results indicate that in recipients of DUCBT, the day 30 absolute lymphocyte count is highly predictive of non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS). Immune recovery post-DUCBT was characterized by prolonged CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphopenia associated with preferential expansion of B and NK cells. We also observed profound delays in quantitative and functional recovery of viral-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses for the first year post-CBT. Taken together, our data support efforts aimed at optimizing viral-specific T cell recovery to improve outcomes post-CBT.
