Cellular immunotherapy directed against human cytomegalovirus as a novel approach for glioblastoma treatment

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has a very poor prognosis, despite multimodal therapy including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. A novel adoptive immunotherapy that exploits the presence of cytomegalovirus antigens in malignant brain cancer cells has been shown to be safe and elicit potential clin...
