  "term": "Allogeneic virus-specific T lymphocytes",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A preparation of allogeneic donor-derived T lymphocytes that are specifically reactive to adenovirus (AdV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human polyomavirus type I (BKV), with potential antiviral activity. Upon administration, allogeneic VSTs may kill AdV, CMV, EBV and/or BKV-infected cells, thereby preventing or reducing the severity of viral infections by these pathogens.",
