Defective Expression of HLA-D-Region Determinants in Children with Congenital Agammaglobulinemia and Malabsorption: A New Syndrome

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Recently we have described four children with congenital AG associated with persistent diarrhea, malabsorption, and failure to thrive [5, 6]. All patients displayed a lack of expression of HLA-DR and DQ antigens, whereas HLA-ABC antigens were consistently found. In contrast to our patients, Touraine et al. [17] have described a combined ID termed “bare lymphocyte syndrome” (BLS), characterized by a lack of class I antigens and a continued expression of class II antigens. Subsequently, cases of BLS were describe with defects in both class I and class II antigens were quantitated on single cells by indirect IF and FCM, using well-defined MAbs. In addition, skin biopsy specimes were examined for cells bearing HLA antigens by IH. As a functional parameter, Ig production was assessed in vitro. Finally, attempts are reported to modulate class II determinants by IFN treatment in vitro.
