1. Patients with Adenovirus infections post allogeneic HSCT, with primary
immunodeficiencies or post solid organ transplant with:
- Increasing or persistent quantitative ADV RT-PCR DNA copies despite two weeks of
appropriate anti-viral therapy and/or

2. Donor Eligibility Related donor available with a T-cell response to the viral MACS®
GMP PepTivator antigen(s) of adenovirus.
a. Third Party Related Allogeneic Donor: If original donor is not available or does
not have a T-cell response: third party allogeneic donor (family donor > 1 HLA A, B,

donors (Appendix 1).
AND Obtained informed consents by donor or donor legally authorized representative
prior to donor collection.
