Combined B, T and NK Cell Deficiency Accelerates Atherosclerosis in BALB/c Mice
This study focused on the unique properties of both the Ldlr knockout defect (closely mimicking the human situation) and the BALB/c (C) inbred mouse strain (Th-2 slanted immune response). We generated two immunodeficient strains with severe combined B- and T-cell immunodeficiency with or without a complete lack of natural killer cells to revisit the role of adaptive immune responses on atheroge...
متن کاملMicrophthalmic mice display a B cell deficiency similar to that seen for mast and NK cells.
The microphthalmic mouse (mi) possesses a 3-bp deletion of the Mi gene that alters the DNA binding site of the transcription factor gene product. This animal has diminished numbers of NK and mast cells (MC) and is osteopetrotic due to a lack of the normal complement of functional osteoclasts. The reduction of MC has been proposed to be due to the lack of adequate c-Kit expression that is requir...
متن کاملDeficiency of Immediate B Cell Precursors in Adult NZB Mice
Animals wi th genet ical ly de te rmined defects in the deve lopment of l y m p h o i d and hemopoie t ic systems have proven useful for unde r s t and ing how these processes are normal ly regula ted (1-4). There is reason to believe that New Z e a l a nd strain mice, which have long been used as a model for a u t o i m m u n e disease, will s imilar ly be impor t an t for studies of B lymphoc...
متن کاملCytokine secretion and NK cell activity in human ADAM17 deficiency.
Genetic deficiencies provide insights into gene function in humans. Here we describe a patient with a very rare genetic deficiency of ADAM17. We show that the patient's PBMCs had impaired cytokine secretion in response to LPS stimulation, correlating with the clinical picture of severe bacteremia from which the patient suffered. ADAM17 was shown to cleave CD16, a major NK killer receptor. Funct...
متن کاملThe human syndrome of dendritic cell, monocyte, B and NK lymphoid deficiency
Congenital or acquired cellular deficiencies in humans have the potential to reveal much about normal hematopoiesis and immune function. We show that a recently described syndrome of monocytopenia, B and NK lymphoid deficiency additionally includes the near absence of dendritic cells. Four subjects showed severe depletion of the peripheral blood HLA-DR(+) lineage(-) compartment, with virtually ...
