We examined T-cell proliferation in five patients with X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM), using a panel of antigens and lectins. All patients had impaired antigen-induced proliferation, whereas their lectin responses were normal. Thus, in addition to severely depressed antibody responses, patients with XHIM have a defect in antigen-specific T-cell proliferation, which may explain their susceptibility to pathogens such as Pneumocystis carinii.
我们使用一组抗原和凝集素检测了5例X连锁高IgM综合征(XHIM)患者的T细胞增殖情况。所有患者的抗原诱导增殖均受损,而他们对凝集素的反应正常。因此,除了严重降低的抗体反应外,XHIM患者还存在抗原特异性T细胞增殖缺陷,这可能解释了他们对卡氏肺孢子虫等病原体的易感性。
