Abstract

We investigated several phenotypic and functional parameters of T cell-mediated immunity in a large series of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients. We demonstrated that the vast majority of CVID patients presented multiple T cell abnormalities intimately related among them, the severity of which was reflected in a parallel loss of CD4+ naive T cells. A strong correlation between the number of CD4+ naive T cells and clinical features was observed, supporting the subgrouping of patients according to their number of naive CD4+ T lymphocytes. A reduced thymic output and disrupted CD4+ and CD8+ TCR repertoires paralleled the contraction of CD4+ naive T cell pools. The evaluation of activation markers and cytokine production indicated a strong T cell activation that was significantly related to the increased levels of T cell turnover and apoptosis. Finally, discrete genetic profiles could be demonstrated in groups of patients showing extremely diverse T cell subset composition and function. Naive CD4+ T cell levels were significantly associated with the switched memory B cell-based classification, although the concordance between the respective subgroups did not exceed 58.8%. In conclusion, our data highlight the key role played by the T cell compartment in the pathogenesis of CVID, pointing to the need to consider this aspect for classification of this disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
