## Abstract The dynamics of CMV pp65 and IE‐1‐specific IFNγ‐producing CD8^+^ (IFNγ CD8^+^) and CD4^+^ (IFNγ CD4^+^) T cells and CMV DNAemia were assessed in 19 pre‐emptively treated episodes of active CMV infection. Peripheral counts of IFNγ CD8^+^ and IFNγ CD4^+^ T cells inversely correlated with
## Abstract Transplantation Centers using human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) antigenemia‐based preemptive therapy will need to replace in the near future the antigenemia assay with a more standardized and automatable assay, such as a molecular assay quantifying HCMV DNA in blood (DNAemia). Thus, in view
Background. The prevalence, in unselected patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), of clonal rearrangements suitable for minimal residual disease (MRD) studies has not been formally investigated. Procedure. This was a prospective, demographic study of the frequency of molecular markers of
