“…Could there be a mechanism whereby EBV replication protects healthy adults from BKV replication and vice versa? CMV viremia was associated with a decreased incidence of BKV reactivation in kidney transplant recipients in a recent study and while the authors proposed it could be due to reduction in immunosuppression (22); this could have been due to an ongoing protective CD8+ lymphocyte response activated by the preceding CMV (23). Perhaps a similar mechanism could explain our findings.…”

Background Organ donors are often implicated as the source of posttransplant recipient infection. We prospectively studied kidney and liver donor-recipient pairs to determine if donor viral replication of cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and BK polyomavirus (BKV) at transplant was a risk factor for posttransplant recipient infection and disease. Methods Donors and recipients were studied for antibodies against CMV and EBV and for quantitative viral replication of CMV, EBV and BKV in oral washes, urine, and whole blood pretransplant. Recipient testing continued every 3 months posttransplant. Demographic and clinical data on infections and graft and subject outcomes were obtained. Results The 98 donor-recipient pairs included 15 liver and 83 kidney transplants (18 of whom were children). No donor had detectable CMV replication; therefore its impact on recipient CMV replication could not be analyzed. Donor EBV replication occurred in 22%, mostly in the oral wash and had no impact on posttransplant recipient EBV replication (p 0.9) or EBV viremia (p 0.6) in kidney or liver recipients. Donor BKV replication occurred in 17%, mostly in the urine and although not associated with posttransplant recipient urinary BKV replication in recipients, it was associated with BKV viremia (p 0.02), and a significantly shorter time to BKV viremia (p 0.01) in kidney recipients. Conclusion Donor replication of CMV or EBV did not impact posttransplant recipient viral replication in kidney/liver transplants. Donor urinary BKV replication is associated with recipient BKV viremia in kidney transplants.

“…Indeed the latest consensus guidelines on HCMV in SOT recommended these methods as an adjunct tool to predict risk of viremia and disease [21]. The HCMV-specific cellular assays have been evaluated in different clinical scenarios: some studies have focused on the T-cell immunity in the pre-transplantation period to potentially predict subsequent viral infection or disease [82][83][84][85][86] (Table 3), many more studies have assessed HCMV-specific cellular responses after transplantation [76,[87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98] (Table 4). Few studies have assessed HCMV-specific cell-mediated immunity in large cohorts of high-risk SOT recipients (i.e., donor HCMV-seropositive/recipient HCMV-seronegative) to predict disease development [90].…”

“…Ritta et al and Bestard et al found that having low pretransplant CMV‐specific T‐cell responses was associated with a higher risk of post‐transplant CMV replication . López‐Oliva et al reported that low pretransplant CMV‐specific CD8 + T‐cell counts predicted the development of CMV infection with 100% specificity and 85.7% sensitivity, while Mena‐Romo et al found that patients were more prone to suffer from CMV disease in the absence of detectable pretransplant CMI . More recently, the quantification of pretransplant CMV‐specific T‐cells directed against immediate early (IE)‐1, and/or pp65 antigens has been proven to be useful for the identification of R + kidney transplant recipients at increased risk for CMV‐disease …”

Summary Knowledge of donor and recipient (D/R) cytomegalovirus (CMV) serostatus is critical for risk stratification of CMV infection and disease in transplant recipients, particularly in the solid organ transplantation (SOT) setting. Despite its broad availability and the success of it use, the risk stratification based on the D/R serostatus is not free of limitations since there are a nondepreciable number of patients that are not accurately categorized by this approach. In fact, up to 20% of seropositive SOT recipients, classically considered at intermediate risk, develop episodes of CMV infection and disease after transplantation. Here, we provide an overview of additional donor and recipient factors that may have utility in identifying patients at risk for post‐transplant CMV infection. Specifically, we summarize our current understanding regarding the potential use of use CMV‐specific T‐cell‐mediated immunity, neutralizing antibodies and host genetics that may influence the risk of CMV infection and disease. We provide an overview of the benefits and limitations associated with using these immunological factors in risk stratification and propose specific variables that could be analyzed at the pretransplant evaluation to improve the identification of patients with increased individual susceptibility.
