“Detection of Occult Viral Infection in Pediatric SCID Patients with Incomplete B Cell Reconstitution after Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)”
Incomplete immune reconstitution is one of the three major factors associated with late complications after Hematopoietic Cell Transplant for SCID. This research would identify occult viral infection as a cause of some of these complications. By identifying these hidden infections and exploring their relationship to incomplete immune recovery, this research may help improve long-term monitoring and guide future treatment approaches for children living with SCID after transplantation or gene therapy.
This Grant Program was Support by an Educational Grant from ADMA Biologics
