Absence of interleukin 2 production in a severe combined immunodeficiency disease syndrome with T cells
We have characterized a child with a severe combined immunodeficiency disease syndrome with increased numbers, but a normal distribution, of CD3+ T cells. This patient's immunological defect appears to be attributable to a selective deficiency in T cell production of IL-2, which may reflect a subtle abnormality in the IL-2 gene locus or a defect in a regulatory factor necessary for IL-2 transcr...
متن کاملNew Developments in Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease
Severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) is a fatal, inherited disease of Arabian foals. Studies characterizing the immunophenotype of lymphoid cells and the defect in V(D)J recombination in SCID foals has improved our understanding of the disease. A definitive test that identifies SCID foals and carrier horses is now available. Author’s address: Dept. of Medical Sciences, University of ...
متن کاملA recombinant antibody-interleukin 2 fusion protein suppresses growth of hepatic human neuroblastoma metastases in severe combined immunodeficiency mice.
A genetically engineered fusion protein consisting of a human/mouse chimeric anti-ganglioside GD2 antibody (ch14.18) and recombinant human interleukin 2 (rhIL-2) was tested for its ability to target rhIL-2 to tumor sites and stimulate immune effector cells sufficiently to achieve effective tumor cell lysis in vivo. The ch14.18-IL-2 fusion protein proved more effective than equivalent doses of r...
متن کاملSevere combined immunodeficiency presented with septic arthritis: A case report
Severe combined immunodeficiency is a rare, fatal syndrome of diverse genetic cause in which there is combined absence of T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte function (and in many cases also natural killer, or NK lymphocyte function). These defects lead to extreme susceptibility to serious infections. Without intervention, the T and B-cell dysfunction usually results in severe infection and death in ...
