Absence of IgD-CD27(+) memory B cell population in X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome.
The present study analyzed peripheral blood B cell populations separated by IgD and CD27 expression in six males with X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM). Costimulation of mononuclear cells from most of the patients induced no to low levels of class switching from IgM to IgG and IgA with Staphylococcus aureus Cowan strain (SAC) plus IL-2 or anti-CD40 mAb (anti-CD40) plus IL-10. Measurable levels...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus persistence in the absence of conventional memory B cells: IgM+IgD+CD27+ B cells harbor the virus in X-linked lymphoproliferative disease patients.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) persists in healthy virus carriers within the immunoglobulin (Ig)D(-)CD27(+) (class-switched) memory B-cell compartment that normally arises through antigen stimulation and germinal center transit. Patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) lack such class-switched memory B cells but are highly susceptible to EBV infection, often developing fatal symptoms ...
متن کاملT cell–independent development and induction of somatic hypermutation in human IgM+IgD+CD27+ B cells
IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells from peripheral blood have been described as circulating marginal zone B cells. It is still unknown when and where these cells develop. These IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells exhibit somatic hypermutations (SHMs) in their B cell receptors, but the exact nature of the signals leading to induction of these SHMs remains elusive. Here, we show that IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells...
متن کاملHuman CD27+IgM+IgD+ B cells: T-cell or TLR-dependent?
In this issue of Blood,Weller et al studied patients with rare immunodeficiencies to demonstrate a role for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in homeostasis of human CD27+IgM+IgD+B cells.
متن کاملDefects of T-cell effector function and post-thymic maturation in X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome.
X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM) results from mutations in the gene encoding for CD40 ligand (CD154). Patients with the syndrome suffer from infections with opportunistic pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Pneumocystis carinii. In this study, we demonstrate that activated T cells from patients with XHIM produce markedly reduced levels of IFN-gamma, fail to induce antigen-presenting cells t...
