Abstract
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a disease characterized by increased susceptibility to infections, hypogammaglobulinemia, and immune dysregulation. Although CVID is thought to be a disorder of the peripheral B-cell compartment, in 25% of patients, early B-cell development in the bone marrow is impaired. Because poor B-cell reconstitution after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been observed, we hypothesized that in some patients the bone marrow environment is not permissive to B-cell development. Studying the differentiation dynamics of bone marrow-derived CD34+ cells into immature B cells in vitro allowed us to distinguish patients with B-cell intrinsic defects and patients with a nonpermissive bone marrow environment. In the former, immature B cells did not develop and in the latter CD34+ cells differentiated into immature cells in vitro, but less efficiently in vivo. In a further group of patients, the uncommitted precursors were unable to support the constant development of B cells in vitro, indicating a possible low frequency or exhaustion of the precursor population. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation would result in normal B-cell repopulation in case of intrinsic B-cell defect, but in defective ...Continue Reading
