Newborn screening (NBS) for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) has been successfully implemented in all 50 United States and Puerto Rico from 2008-2018. This life-saving tool drastically improved overall survival of babies diagnosed with SCID 74% to 96%. TREC is a stable, circular DNA molecule that produced during the process T-cell receptor (TCR) rearrangement target quantitative PCR scre...
Homozygous mutation at the scid locus in the mouse results in the aberrant rearrangement of immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene segments. We introduced a retroviral vector containing an inversional immunoglobulin rearrangement cassette into scid pre-B cells. Most rearrangements were accompanied by large deletions, consistent with previously characterized effects of the scid mutation. Howeve...
In previous reports, nude mice have demonstrated residual immunoreactivity against xenografts. Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice lack functional T- and B-cells. These animals are expected to be better hosts in which to perform preclinical studies on human tumors. The purpose of this study is to quantitate the advantage of SCID mice over nude mice in terms of transplantability of human...
Human lymphatic filariasis, which afflicts an estimated 120 million people worldwide, is caused by the large nematode parasites Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi. Filarial nematodes require both an arthropod vector and a mammalian host to complete their life cycle. Within the definitive (mammalian) host, the lymphatic filarial parasites reside in the lymph nodes and lymphatics, a seemingly...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE T cells and their cytokines are believed to be key factors in periodontal disease and bone resorption. We previously showed that T cells transferred to nude mice were related to inflammatory bone resorption in vivo. However, it has not been clarified whether T cells can induce bone resorption in the absence of B cells. In this study, we therefore investigated the abilit...
We reported previously that the genetic SCID disease observed in Arabian foals is explained by a defect in V(D)J recombination that profoundly affects both coding and signal end joining. As in C.B-17 SCID mice, the molecular defect in SCID foals is in the catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKCS); however, in SCID mice, signal end resolution remains relatively intact. Mor...
Newborn screening (NBS) programs for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), the most severe type of primary immunodeficiency, are being implemented in more and more countries with every passing year. Since October 2015, SCID screening via T cell receptor excision circle (TREC) quantification in dried blood spots (DBS) has been part of the Israeli NBS program. As an NBS program in its infancy,...
Severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID) are commonly fatal early in life. Adequate diagnosis and rapid institution of treatment, such as allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), is essential. Several studies demonstrated that reconstitution of B-cell function after SCT is better in B-positive SCID than in B-negative SCID. We demonstrate that B-cell reconstitution in a B-negative SCID patie...
BACKGROUND Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) can be cured by using allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and the absence of host immunity often obviates the need for preconditioning. Depending on the underlying genetic defect and when blocks in differentiation occur during lymphocyte ontogeny, infants with SCID have absent or greatly reduced numbers of functional T cells. Na...
We have examined the requirements for activating unprimed T cells in vivo by transferring T cells into scid mice, which lack mature B and T cells. Purified adult thymocytes and a protein antigen, keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), were injected into scid mice. scid mice injected with T cells and KLH developed cellular lymph nodes containing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Cells recovered from the lymph no...
