Abstract

<p>Patient-specific process of cross comparison along with the source genes, IC50 values to indicate inverse binding affinity and GVHD organ specific tissue involvement. *Note: Twelve patients with CMV reactivation/infection before GVHD onset exhibited previously identified immunogenic CMV peptide matches with gene expression specific to the tissues affected by GVHD (above); The filter of immunogenicity provides a connection to T cell reactivity shown <i>in vitro</i> to the listed CMV genes in a separate patient population [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0178763#pone.0178763.ref036" target="_blank">36</a>]; Patient 79 with muscle/fascia GVHD showed no muscle-specific previously <i>known immunogenic</i> CMV peptide matches but still had three relevant CMV peptide matches expressed in the skeletal muscle (not shown); Tissues in parentheses were also affected by GVHD but without immunogenic matches/expression by patient; Patients 67 and 71 experienced <i>de novo</i> CMV infection; All 13 patients exhibited multiple CMV peptide matches with unknown immunogenicity.</p
