First Association of Interleukin 12 Receptor Beta 1 Deficiency with Sjögren’s Syndrome
INTRODUCTION Interleukin 12 receptor beta 1 (IL12Rβ1) deficiency is a primary immunodeficiency resulting mainly in susceptibility to opportunistic infection by non-tuberculous, environmental mycobacteria and severe infection caused by Salmonella spp. Till now, less than 300 patients with IL12Rβ1 deficiency have been reported. Among them, only three have been described to develop autoimmunity. ...
متن کاملInterleukin 12 deficiency associated with recurrent infections.
A 3-yr-old female patient exhibited interleukin 12 (IL-12) deficiency that was associated with recurrent episodes of pneumococcal pneumonia with sepsis and other infections in the absence of fevers. The patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) exhibited normal proliferative responses to antigens. Immune responses, including in vivo production of antibodies to diphtheria, tetanus, or...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 receptor beta1 deficiency presenting as recurrent Salmonella infection.
We describe a child with interleukin-12 receptor beta1 (IL-12Rbeta1) deficiency caused by a homozygous IL12RB1 large deletion who presented at the age of 1 year with recurrent, often asymptomatic episodes of bacteremia caused by group D Salmonella species. No mycobacterial disease or other unusual infection was present. The episodes of salmonellosis were caused by an identical serovar during a ...
متن کاملRegulation of Interleukin-12 by Complement Receptor 3 Signaling
Complement receptor type 3 (CR3, CD11b/CD18) serves as a receptor for a number of endogenous ligands and infectious organisms, and is involved in adhesion and host defense functions. Here, we report that signaling via CR3 plays an important role in regulating production of interleukin-12 (IL-12), a key mediator of cell-mediated immunity (CMI). We demonstrate with a variety of stimuli a dose-dep...
متن کاملSerum Levels of Soluble Interleukin-2 Receptor in Pulmonary Tuberculosis
It is well known that the activation of cell mediated immunity has an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis and the production of the protective immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. During the activation of T-cell by Interleukin-1 released from the macrophage, not only Interleukin-2 but also the soluble Interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) molecule is released into the...
