The administration of allogeneic third party derived LMP specific-CTLs (special peripheral blood cells from another person) that are made specific to fight EBV infection) in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults (CAYA) with EBV-associated refractory or relapsed lymphoma will be feasible ( able to be done), safe and well tolerated (no unexpected serious events will occur). In addition, potential donors who are EBV positive will be enrolled to donate peripheral blood to help build a bank of these specific EBV fighting cell lines.

Eligible patients with a matched cell line will be infused with 3rd party CTLs and monitored for adverse events and response. Patients who show a response and tolerate the infusion well may receive up to 5 infusions total 4-6 weeks apart.
Donors who are EBV+ and meet the eligibility criteria will be consented to provide 60-120 ml peripheral blood once for future use for this and other clinical trials using 3rd party CTLs.

To determine the safety of giving 3rd party EBV-CTLs
Patients will be monitored for any unexpected adverse events related to investigational product.
Time frame: 1 year
To develop a third party bank of LMP-specific CTL
EBV positive donors will be asked to provide an extra sample of peripheral blood to build a donor bank of EBV-CTLs for this protocol and future use.
Time frame: on going
To measure the response rate
patients will be followed a year following administration of cells for disease response.
Time frame: 1 year
