Evaluation of Natural Regulatory T Cells in Subjects with Selective IgA Deficiency: From Senior Idea to Novel Opportunities
Background: Selective IgA deficiency (SIgAD) is the most common primary immunodeficiency disorder, which is characterized by significantly decreased serum levels of IgA. Abnormalities of CD4+CD25 high forkhead box P3 (FoxP3)+ regulatory T cells (T reg ) have been shown in association with autoimmune...

Zusammenfassung: | Background: Selective IgA deficiency (SIgAD) is the most common primary immunodeficiency disorder, which is characterized by significantly decreased serum levels of IgA. Abnormalities of CD4+CD25 high forkhead box P3 (FoxP3)+ regulatory T cells (T reg ) have been shown in association with autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Methods: In order to evaluate the relationship between autoimmunity and T reg in SIgAD, we studied 26 IgA-deficient patients (aged 4–17 years) with serum IgA levels |
