Establishment of a bank of third party T cells to treat virus infections (that are resistant or unsuitable for other forms of antibiotic therapy) in immunocompromised and transplant patients across Australia

骨髓移植可以治愈血液癌症，但由于持续的免疫缺陷，患者易受病毒感染。我们已经证明，你可以在实验室中培养免疫细胞，并将这种免疫力转移到移植受体身上。虽然有效，但由于该过程的时间、复杂性和成本，尚未被广泛采用。我们的目标是通过使用立即可用的“现成”免疫细胞为患有危及生命的感染的患者提供治疗选择来解决这些问题。

Bone marrow transplantation can cure cancers of the blood but patients are susceptible to viral infections due to ongoing immune deficiency. We have shown you can grow immune cells in the laboratory and transfer this immunity to transplant recipients. While effective, this has not been widely adopted due to the time, complexity and costs of the process. We aim to address these issues by providing a treatment option for patients with life threatening infections using immediately available “off the shelf” immune cells.
