Abstract
We describe humans with rare biallelic loss-of-function PTCRA variants impairing pre-α T cell receptor (pre-TCRα) expression. Low circulating naive αβ T cell counts at birth persisted over time, with normal memory αβ and high γδ T cell counts. Their TCRα repertoire was biased, which suggests that noncanonical thymic differentiation pathways can rescue αβ T cell development. Only a minority of these individuals were sick, with infection, lymphoproliferation, and/or autoimmunity. We also report that 1 in 4000 individuals from the Middle East and South Asia are homozygous for a common hypomorphic PTCRA variant. They had normal circulating naive αβ T cell counts but high γδ T cell counts. Although residual pre-TCRα expression drove the differentiation of more αβ T cells, autoimmune conditions were more frequent in these patients compared with the general population.

Abstract
The CD3 subunits of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) play a central role in regulation of surface TCR expression levels. Humans who lack CD3γ (γ—) show reduced surface TCR expression levels and abolished phorbol ester (PMA)-induced TCR down-regulation. The response to PMA is mediated by a double leucine motif in the intracellular (IC) domain of CD3γ. However, the molecular cause of the reduced TCR surface expression in γ— lymphocytes is still not known. We used retroviral vectors carrying wild type CD3γ or CD3δ or the following chimeras (EC-extracellular, TM-transmembrane and IC): δECγTMγIC (δγγ for short), γγδ, γδδ and γγ-. Expression of γγγ, γγδ, γδδ or γγ- in the γ— T cell line JGN, which lacks surface TCR, demonstrated that cell surface TCR levels in JGN were dependent on the EC domain of CD3γ and could not be replaced by the one of CD3δ. In JGN and primary γ— patient T cells, the tested chimeras confirmed that the response to PMA maps to the IC domain of CD3γ. Since protein homology explains these results better than domain structure, we conclude that CD3γ contributes conformational cues that improve surface TCR expression, likely at the assembly or membrane transport steps. In JGN cells all chimeric TCRs were signalling competent. However, an IC domain at CD3γ was required for TCR-induced IL-2 and TNF-α production and CD69 expression, indicating that a TCR without a CD3γ IC domain has altered signalling capabilities.

Abstract
Abstract
Sézary syndrome (SS) is a leukemic form of cutaneous mature T-cell lymphoma characterized by circulating malignant CD4 T lymphocytes (Sezary cells). Patients with SS have a poor prognosis and current treatment options show high rates of relapse, morbidity or mortality. Thus, there is an unmet need for an efficient and safe treatment. Sézary cells have unique clonal potentially targetable epitopes, including their TCR, and TCR- and neoantigen-derived HLA-restricted peptides.
Our general aim is to design a patient-tailored two-pronged strategy against SS. The specific aims are 1) to target SS clonal TCR B cell epitopes using mAb and/or CAR T cells, 2) to target SS HLA-restricted T-cell epitopes using TCR peptide- and/or neoantigen-specific human T cells, and 3) to validate efficacy in vitro and in mouse models.
For the generation of mAb, apheresis-purified SS cells or SS TCR CDR3beta peptides were used for immunizations, and screening was done on SS vs non-SS CD4 cells as defined by flow cytometry using CD26 and/or PD-1. For in vitro expansion of SS peptide-specific T cells, SS patient-derived non-SS PBMC were stimulated in 96-well plates with IL-2 and pooled HLA class I+II SS peptides, 10 μM each, defined by SS WGS, WES and RNAseq-based predictions or peptidome studies. After one week, cells were exposed to autologous DC pre-loaded with peptide pools, and cytokine production was analyzed by flow cytometry.
We have obtained preliminary data on aims 1 and 2 studying two SS patients with monoclonal T cell lymphomas, including potential mouse antibodies against a clonal SS TCR using cell and peptide immunization and T-cell hits that seem to be specific of a SS TCR HLA class-I-restricted CDR3beta sequence.

Abstract
We address current data, views and puzzles on the emerging topic of regulation of lymphocytes by complement proteins or fragments. Such regulation is believed to take place through complement receptors (CR) and membrane complement regulators (CReg) involved in cell function or protection, respectively, including intracellular signalling. Original observations in B cells clearly support that complement cues through CR improve their performance. Other lymphocytes likely integrate complement-derived signals, as most lymphoid cells constitutively express or regulate CR and CReg upon activation. CR-induced signals, particularly by anaphylatoxins, clearly regulate lymphoid cell function. In contrast, data obtained by CReg crosslinking using antibodies are not always confirmed in human congenital deficiencies or knock-out mice, casting doubts on their physiological relevance. Unsurprisingly, human and mouse complement systems are not completely homologous, adding further complexity to our still fragmentary understanding of complement-lymphocyte interactions.

Abstract
Heterotrimers composed of B cell CLL/lymphoma 10 (BCL10), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1), and caspase recruitment domain-containing (CARD) family adaptors play a role in NF-κB activation and have been shown to be involved in both the innate and the adaptive arms of immunity in murine models. Moreover, individuals with inherited defects of MALT1, CARD9, and CARD11 present with immunological and clinical phenotypes. Here, we characterized a case of autosomal-recessive, complete BCL10 deficiency in a child with a broad immunodeficiency, including defects of both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic immunity. The patient died at 3 years of age and was homozygous for a loss-of-expression, loss-of-function BCL10 mutation. The effect of BCL10 deficiency was dependent on the signaling pathway, and, for some pathways, the cell type affected. Despite the noted similarities to BCL10 deficiency in mice, including a deficient adaptive immune response, human BCL10 deficiency in this patient resulted in a number of specific features within cell populations. Treatment of the patient's myeloid cells with a variety of pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules (PAMPs) elicited a normal response; however, NF-κB-mediated fibroblast functions were dramatically impaired. The results of this study indicate that inherited BCL10 deficiency should be considered in patients with combined immunodeficiency with B cell, T cell, and fibroblast defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD3δ deficiency is a fatal form of severe combined immunodeficiency that can be cured by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The presence of a thymus loaded with T-cell progenitors in patients with CD3δ deficiency may require special considerations in choosing the regimen of conditioning and the type of HSCT. OBJECTIVES To study the outcome of CD3δ deficiency by using various modalities of stem cell transplantation. METHODS We analyzed data on 13 patients with CD3δ deficiency who underwent HSCT in 7 centers. HSCT was performed by using different sources of donor stem cells as well as various conditioning regimens. RESULTS One patient received stem cells from a matched related donor and survived after a second transplant, needing substantial conditioning in order to engraft. Only 2 of 7 other patients who received a mismatched related donor transplant survived; 2 of them had no conditioning, whereas the others received various combinations of conditioning regimens. Engraftment of T cells in the survivors appears incomplete. Three other patients who received stem cells from a matched unrelated donor survived and enjoyed full immune reconstitution. Two patients received unrelated cord blood without conditioning. One of them has had a partial but stable engraftment, whereas the other engrafted well but is only 12 months after HSCT. We also report here for the first time that patients with CD3δ deficiency can present with typical features of Omenn syndrome. CONCLUSIONS HSCT is a successful treatment for patients with CD3δ deficiency. The small number of patients in this report prevents definitive statements on the importance of survival factors, but several are suggested: (1) HLA-matched donor transplants are associated with superior reconstitution and survival than are mismatched donor transplants; (2) substantial conditioning appears necessary; and (3) early diagnosis and absence of opportunistic infections may affect outcome.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is a pivotal process by which macrophages eliminate microorganisms after recognition by pathogen sensors. Here we unexpectedly found that the self ligand and cell surface receptor SLAM functioned not only as a costimulatory molecule but also as a microbial sensor that controlled the killing of gram-negative bacteria by macrophages. SLAM regulated activity of the NADPH oxidase NOX2 complex and phagolysosomal maturation after entering the phagosome, following interaction with the bacterial outer membrane proteins OmpC and OmpF. SLAM recruited a complex containing the intracellular class III phosphatidylinositol kinase Vps34, its regulatory protein kinase Vps15 and the autophagy-associated molecule beclin-1 to the phagosome, which was responsible for inducing the accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate, a regulator of both NOX2 function and phagosomal or endosomal fusion. Thus, SLAM connects the gram-negative bacterial phagosome to ubiquitous cellular machinery responsible for the control of bacterial killing.

Abstract
Naturally occurring regulatory T cells (Treg) express high levels of glucocorticoid-induced tumour necrosis factor receptor (GITR). However, studies of the role of GITR in Treg biology has been complicated by the observation that upon activation effector CD4(+) T (Teff) cells also express the receptor. Here, we dissect the contribution of GITR-induced signaling networks in the expansion and function of FoxP3(+) Treg. We demonstrate that a high-affinity soluble Fc-GITR-L dimer, in conjugation with alphaCD3, specifically enhances in vitro proliferation of Treg, which retain their phenotypic markers (CD25 and FoxP3) and their suppressor function, while minimally affecting Teff cells. Furthermore, Fc-GITR-L does not impair Teff susceptibility to suppression, as judged by cocultures employing GITR-deficient and GITR-sufficient CD4(+) T-cell subsets. Notably, this expansion of Treg could also be seen in vivo, by injecting FoxP3-IRES-GFP mice with Fc-GITR-L even in the absence of antigenic stimulation. In order to test the efficacy of these findings therapeutically, we made use of a C3H/HeJ hemophilia B-prone mouse model. The use of liver-targeted human coagulation factor IX (hF.IX) gene therapy in this model has been shown to induce liver toxicity and the subsequent failure of hF.IX expression. Interestingly, injection of Fc-GITR-L into the hemophilia-prone mice that were undergoing liver-targeted hF.IX gene therapy increased the expression of F.IX and reduced the anticoagulation factors. We conclude that GITR engagement enhances Treg proliferation both in vitro and in vivo and that Fc-GITR-L may be a useful tool for in vivo tolerance induction.

Abstract
The γδ T cell receptor for antigen (TCR) comprises the clonotypic TCRγδ, the CD3 (CD3γε and/or CD3δε), and the ζζ dimers. γδ T cells do not develop in CD3γ-deficient mice, whereas human patients lacking CD3γ have abundant peripheral blood γδ T cells expressing high γδ TCR levels. In an attempt to identify the molecular basis for these discordant phenotypes, we determined the stoichiometries of mouse and human γδ TCRs using blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and anti-TCR–specific antibodies. The γδ TCR isolated in digitonin from primary and cultured human γδ T cells includes CD3δ, with a TCRγδCD3ε2δγζ2 stoichiometry. In CD3γ-deficient patients, this may allow substitution of CD3γ by the CD3δ chain and thereby support γδ T cell development. In contrast, the mouse γδ TCR does not incorporate CD3δ and has a TCRγδCD3ε2γ2ζ2 stoichiometry. CD3γ-deficient mice exhibit a block in γδ T cell development. A human, but not a mouse, CD3δ transgene rescues γδ T cell development in mice lacking both mouse CD3δ and CD3γ chains. This suggests important structural and/or functional differences between human and mouse CD3δ chains during γδ T cell development. Collectively, our results indicate that the different γδ T cell phenotypes between CD3γ-deficient humans and mice can be explained by differences in their γδ TCR composition.

Abstract
The CD3 subunits of the T cell receptor-CD3 complex (TCR-CD3) help to regulate surface TCR-CD3 expression, and participate in signal transduction leading to intrathymic selection and peripheral antigen recognition by T lymphocytes. Humans who lack individual CD3 chains show impairments in the expression and activation-induced downregulation of TCR-CD3, and the defective immune responses that result may be lethal. We have investigated delivery of a normal CD3 chain to treat disorders of this type. Retroviral transduction of CD3gamma into CD3gamma-deficient peripheral blood T lymphocytes from two unrelated patients selectively corrected the observed TCR-CD3 expression and downregulation defects, but unexpectedly seemed to cause adverse effects that can be explained by an autoreactive recognition mechanism. These data support the feasibility of gene therapy for human CD3 deficiencies, but also suggest that gene transfer into postthymic lymphocytes carrying mutations on T cell recognition or activation pathways may disrupt their intrathymic calibration and become harmful to the host.

Abstract
Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe immunologic defects, reduced pigmentation, bleeding tendency, and progressive neurological dysfunction. Most patients present in early childhood and die unless treated by bone marrow transplantation. About 10-15% of patients exhibit a much milder clinical phenotype and survive to adulthood, but develop progressive and often fatal neurological dysfunction. Very rare patients exhibit an intermediate adolescent CHS phenotype, presenting with severe infections in early childhood, but a milder course by adolescence, with no accelerated phase. Here, we describe the organization and genomic DNA sequence of the CHS1 gene and mutation analysis of 21 unrelated patients with the childhood, adolescent, and adult forms of CHS. In patients with severe childhood CHS, we found only functionally null mutant CHS1 alleles, whereas in patients with the adolescent and adult forms of CHS we also found missense mutant alleles that likely encode CHS1 polypeptides with partial function. Together, these results suggest an allelic genotype-phenotype relationship among the various clinical forms of CHS.

Abstract
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a very frequent but heterogeneous syndrome of antibody formation. The primary defect remains unknown, but many reports describe peripheral blood T lymphocyte dysfunctions in a substantial proportion of CVID patients, which may impair T--B cell collaboration. In order to investigate whether such putative defects were intrinsic to T cells or, rather, secondary to quantitative differences in T cell subset distribution, or to other described disorders, we have used Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) for the targeted transformation of CVID CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and subsequent functional evaluation by flow cytometry of their capacity to generate cell surface (CD154, CD69) or soluble (IL-2, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma) help after CD3 engagement. Unexpectedly, the results showed that 40 different CVID blood samples exposed to HVS gave rise with a significantly increased frequency to transformed CD4+ T cell lines, compared to 40 age-matched controls (27% versus 3%, P < or = 0.00002) suggesting the existence of a CVID-specific signalling difference which affects CD4+ cell transformation efficiency. The functional analysis of 10 CD4+ and 15 CD8+ pure transformed T cell lines from CVID patients did not reveal any statistically significant difference as compared to controls. However, half of the CD4+ transformed cell lines showed CD154 (but not CD69) induction (mean value of 46.8%) under the lower limit of the normal controls (mean value of 82.4%, P < or = 0.0001). Exactly the same five cell lines showed, in addition, a significantly low induction of IL-2 (P < or = 0.04), but not of TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma. None of these differences were observed in the remaining CD4+ cell lines or in any of the transformed CD8+ cell lines. We conclude that certain CVID patients show selective and intrinsic impairments for the generation of cell surface and soluble help by CD4+ T cells, which may be relevant for B lymphocyte function. The transformed T cell lines will be useful to establish the biochemical mechanisms responsible for the described impairments.

Abstract
In the genetic disorder ataxia telangiectasia (AT), humoral (B) and cellular (T) immunological abnormalities are frequently observed. As a consequence, AT patients are predisposed to life-threatening sinopulmonary infections. The pathogenic mechanisms remain unknown, but a role for ATM in signal transduction from membrane receptors has been proposed. We have explored the effects of a defective ATMgene on isolated human T-lineage cells from 13 AT patients with proven T cell dysfunction by transforming their CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes with Herpesvirus saimiri, and analyzing their signaling behavior as compared to normal controls. Several functional parameters were assayed in response to both membrane (anti-CD3 and IL-2) and transmembrane (phorbol myristate acetate plus the calcium ionophore ionomycin) stimuli: (i) calcium mobilization, (ii) induction of activation molecules (CD25, CD40 ligand, CD69 and CD71), (iii) cytokine synthesis (IL-2 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and (iv) proliferation. All these early and late activation events were found to be normal in the transformed ATM-/-T cells, indicating that ATM is not necessary for their induction. As expected, ATM-/- transformed T cells showed an increased radiosensitivity by both radioresistant DNA synthesis and cell survival assays. In contrast to an earlier report testing transformed B lymphocytes, our results indicate that transformed mature peripheral T lymphocytes from AT patients do not have intrinsic immune function defects. Rather, the described T-lineage signaling impairments observed in patients may be secondary in vivo to extrinsic ATM-dependent suppressive factors and/or to a developmental defect. These transformed T cells may help to understand the distinct biological role of ATM in different cell types and to develop rational therapies for the immunological dysfunction of AT patients.

Abstract
Mature CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes are believed to build and express essentially identical surface alphabeta T-cell receptor-CD3 (TCR.CD3) complexes. However, TCR.CD3 expression has been shown to be more impaired in CD8(+) cells than in CD4(+) cells when CD3gamma is absent in humans or mice. We have addressed this paradox by performing a detailed phenotypical and biochemical analysis of the TCR.CD3 complex in human CD3gamma-deficient CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells. The results indicated that the membrane TCR.CD3 complex of CD8(+) T lymphocytes was conformationally different from that of CD4(+) lymphocytes in the absence of CD3gamma. In addition, CD8(+), but not CD4(+), CD3gamma-deficient T lymphocytes were shown to contain abnormally glycosylated TCRbeta proteins, together with a smaller, abnormal TCR chain (probably incompletely processed TCRalpha). These results suggest the existence of hitherto unrecognized biochemical differences between mature CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes in the intracellular control of alphabetaTCR. CD3 assembly, maturation, or transport that are revealed when CD3gamma is absent. Such lineage-specific differences may be important in receptor-coreceptor interactions during antigen recognition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION the antigen CD28, expressed in most T cells, has co-stimulatory properties and plays a pivotal role in clonal T cell anergy mechanisms. METHODS we have compared proliferative T cell responses after anti-CD3 or in phorbol myristate acetate activation with concomitant CD28 signal in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors aged over 65 [elderly donors; ED] and young healthy donors (YD); mean age 30+/-2.7 years). RESULTS no proliferative responses were observed in ED and YD with anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody alone. These responses both were defective in ED, particularly after anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody stimulus (7604 compared with 12,438 c.p.m. in YD, P=0.001) and were corrected when anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody was added to the culture (17,216 vs 18,536, not significant). Functional integrity of the CD28 co-stimulatory pathway was demonstrated by analysis of CD25 expression, interleukin-2 secretion and interleukin-2 gene expression on T cells from ED and YD. Age-associated phenotypic T cell changes were not crucial for an adequate CD28 response. CONCLUSION these experiments demonstrate the integrity of the CD28 pathway in elderly people, and suggest that ageing does not affect different T cell activation pathways equally.

Abstract
The biologic role of each CD3 chain and their relative contribution to the signals transduced through the TCR/CD3 complex and to downstream activation events are still controversial: they may be specialized or redundant. We have immortalized peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes from a human selective CD3 gamma deficiency using Herpesvirus saimiri. The accessibility of the mutant TCR/CD3 complex to different Abs was consistently lower in immortalized CD8+ cells when compared with CD4+ cells, relative to their corresponding CD3 gamma-sufficient controls. Several TCR/CD3-induced downstream activation events, immediate (calcium flux), early (cytotoxicity and induction of surface CD69 or CD40L activation markers or intracellular TNF-alpha) and late (proliferation and secretion of TNF-alpha), were normal in gamma-deficient cells, despite the fact that their TCR/CD3 complexes were significantly less accessible than those of controls. In contrast, the accumulation of intracellular IL-2 or its secretion after CD3 triggering was severely impaired in gamma-deficient cells. The defect was upstream of protein kinase C activation because addition of transmembrane stimuli (PMA plus calcium ionophore) completely restored IL-2 secretion in gamma-deficient cells. These results suggest that the propagation of signals initiated at the TCR itself can result in a modified downstream signaling cascade with distinct functional consequences when gamma is absent. They also provide evidence for the specific participation of the CD3 gamma chain in the induction of certain cytokine genes in both CD4+ and CD8+ human mature T cells. These immortalized mutant cells may prove to be useful in isolating cytosolic signaling pathways emanating from the TCR/CD3 complex.

Abstract
Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is an autosomal recessive disorder with a broad range of clinical manifestations and a frequency of 1:40,000-100,000 live births. Epidemiological studies have suggested that A-T heterozygotes are at an elevated risk of breast cancer. ATM mutations occur worldwide over the entire ATM gene, making it difficult to identify heterozygotes in large populations. However, some founder-effect mutations are specific for certain populations. Here, we present four mutations in Costa Rican A-T patients that accounted for 86-93% of 41 patients studied in two batches. We have developed assays for rapid detection of these four mutations which can be used diagnostically. They will also enable the Costa Rican population to be used as a model for analyzing the role of ATM heterozygosity in cancer development and other disorders.

Abstract
CD8+ T lymphocytes from two unrelated cases of MHC class II deficiency were immortalized in vitro using Herpesvirus saimiri. In both cases, a lack of expression of surface MHC class II molecules was ascertained, whereas variable defects were shown for MHC class I, CD74 (invariant chain) and LAG-3 (an MHC class II ligand). The functional analysis of both H. saimiri-immortalized T-cell lines revealed the existence of a proliferation impairment in response to anti-CD3 but not to other surface or transmembrane stimuli. Further characterization of this functional defect indicated that it was not associated with impaired early activation events (like calcium flux) but, rather, with certain late events, like the induction of IL-2. H. saimiri-immortalized T cells may be valuable in studying the biological role of MHC class II molecules in activated human T cells.

Abstract
CD3 gamma, a subunit of the T cell receptor-CD3 (TCR/CD3) complex, helps to support surface TCR/CD3 expression and participates in signal transduction for gene induction after antigen recognition by T lymphocytes, and in TCR/CD3 down-modulation. Humans with primary immunodeficiencies caused by inherited mutations in the CD3 gamma gene or in the gene encoding epsilon CD3é, another subunit of TCR/CD3 complex, have been previously reported. To develop a gene therapy protocol for CD3-deficient patients, CD3 gamma cDNA was orientationally inserted into two retroviral vectors (LNCX and LXSN), which resulted in recombinant vectors LNCG and LGSN, respectively. Two vector producer cell lines Am12/LNCG and Am12/LGSN were established from packaging cells GP+envAm12. Their mean viral titers were 6.5 x 10(6) and 2.0 x 10(7) cfu/ml, respectively, as shown by an improved retroviral vector production and transduction method that increases titers around five-fold over conventional methods. The presence of helper virus in vector stocks was tested by marker rescue assay and found to be < 1 cfu/ml. Southern blot analysis showed that multiple copies of the vectors were present in the genome of high-titer producers and that both vectors could transfer CD3 gamma cDNA into the genome of 3T3 cells. The vectors were used to correct in vitro a CD3 gamma-deficient Jurkat mutant cell line lacking TCR/CD3 expression and termed JGN (for Jurkat gamma negative). Both vectors increased TCR/CD3 expression in JGN (normally 2% using WT31 monoclonal antibody) to 34% and 37%, respectively, in G418-selected 3-week bulk cultures. Two clones from transduced JGN cells termed JGN/LNCG13 and JGN/LNCG15, with high TCR/CD3 expression (88% and 79%, respectively), were selected for further analyses. First, CD3 gamma protein reconstitution was demonstrated by immunoprecipitation. Second, interleukin-2 production after TCR/CD3 engagement and TCR/CD3 down-modulation in response to phorbol myristate acetate were shown to be comparable to wild-type Jurkat cells. We conclude that LNCG and LGSN may be useful for gene therapy purposes.

Abstract
The characterization of T cell immunodeficiencies could in part be supported by using stable cell lines in which biochemical and molecular studies of the defect could be carried out thereby omitting frequent bleeding of patients. First attempts to obtain such cell lines included HTLV-I transformation and exogenous IL-2 administration, but both models have important disadvantages. Recently, a virus isolated from the squirrel monkey, Herpes virus saimiri (HVS), has been reported to have the ability to transform T cells. A stable IL-2-dependent HVS-transformed T cell line from a CD3 gamma deficient patient has been obtained; and this cell line displays both the phenotypic and the functional characteristics of the patient's lymphocytes. Moreover, the line down-modulates TCR/CD3 surface expression upon CD3 engagement, as do the patient's lymphocytes, showing that CD3 gamma and its phosphorylation are not necessary for TCR/CD3 internalization. In addition, the abnormal staining pattern of different anti-TCR/CD3 monoclonal antibodies is preserved in the HVS-patient line. Since HVS is capable of transforming CD3 gamma- T cells, the CD3 gamma chain does not seem to be involved in the HVS receptor process. The fact that it is not possible to obtain a CD8+ HVS line from the CD3 gamma- patient supports the existence of a functional anomaly in his scanty CD8+ peripheral lymphocytes. Thus, HVS transformation is a suitable model for T cell immunodeficiency studies and characterization. It may also be used in the future in cellular models for in vitro gene therapy trials.

Abstract
Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS), an agent that can infect many human cell types, has been shown to immortalize selectively TCR alpha beta + CD3+ T lymphocytes. Human T cell precursors defined as CD34+CD3-CD4-CD8- were isolated from thymic samples and exposed to HVS in the presence of either IL-2 or IL-7. Cultures lacking the virus were non-viable by day 15. Test cultures, in contrast, showed a sustained proliferative activity lasting > 5 months, allowing the phenotypical and molecular analysis of the cellular progeny. In the presence of IL-7, TCR alpha beta + cells with three different phenotypes (mainly CD4+CD8-, but also CD4+CD8+ and CD4-CD8+) were immortalized, whereas no TCR gamma delta + cells were recovered. Kinetic studies showed that the expansion of immortalized TCR alpha beta + cells was preceded by a gradual loss of CD34+ cells followed by a transient accumulation of two distinct cell subsets: first CD1+CD4+CD3- cells and then CD4+CD8+ thymocytes. This resembles early phenotypic changes occurring during normal intrathymic T cell development. In the presence of IL-2, in contrast, only TCR gamma delta + cells were immortalized (mainly CD4-CD8+, but also CD4-CD8-). The results show that HVS can be used to read the CD3+ cellular outcome of T cell differentiation assays, including gamma delta + CD4-CD8+, gamma delta + CD4-CD8-, alpha beta + CD4+CD8-, alpha beta + CD4-CD8+ and alpha beta + CD4+CD8+ T cells. A clear role for different cytokines (IL-2 for gamma delta + cells, IL-7 for alpha beta + cells) in early T cell commitment was also apparent.

Abstract
A diploid expression of class I and class II human leukocyte antigens (HLA) has been found in purified spermatozoa by using double fluorescence labeling cytofluorometry and relevant monoclonal antibodies; this expression has been confirmed for the first time by the analysis of specific HLA mRNA and metabolic 35S labeling followed by immunoprecipitation, which demonstrates an active ongoing translation of HLA proteins in germinal cells. Long-living mRNA coming from diploid germinal cells may be translated to HLA molecules in spermatozoa. This translation is controlled (or at least inversely correlated) by a testicular hormone (inhibin) in a cyclic fashion. Remarkably, serum levels of inhibin, synthesized by Leydig and Sertoli cells, follow a 12- to 13-day cycle, with a peak level at Day 6; this is probably controlled by FSH (not cyclic in males) and other testicular and/or unknown hormones. Peak levels of inhibin concur with the lower density and percentage of spermatozoa expressing both HLA class I and II molecules (close to 3% by cytofluorometry); lowest levels of inhibin coincide with the highest numbers (35-40%) of spermatozoa positive for both HLA molecules and a higher surface density. These observations could put to an end a disconcerting and long-lasting controversy on the expression/non-expression of HLA antigens on spermatozoa. The possibility that HLA-bearing spermatozoa are more capacitated for fertilization than those that do not bear HLA, and the implications of our results on male fertility control are also discussed.

Abstract
Signalling through the TCR is mediated by the cytoplasmic tails of the CD3 complex. Deficiencies in the expression of different CD3 components have lead to dramatic, yet dissimilar, effects on T-cell development and to selective deficits in peripheral T-cell subsets. Recent studies of human patients and animal models with CD3 deficiencies are providing insights into the redundant and unique roles of these molecules.

Abstract
A Papillon-Lefèvre patient with characteristic chronic periodontal disease and palmoplantar keratoderma was studied over a 4-year period. An abnormal T-cell phenotype was steadily observed in peripheral blood; both low numbers of CD29+ and CD45RO+ cells and a low density surface expression of CD2 and LFA-1 molecules were found. T-cell activation through CD3, CD2 and ConA, PWM and IL-2 receptors was normal; however, there was impairment in the activation via CD28. CD2, LFA-1 and CD45 molecules were normal in charge and molecular weight. There was no tissue sequestering of T lymphocytes in periodontal lesions, but rather a relative T-cell reduction. It is suggested that an important decrease of the so-called "memory/hyperreactive" (CD45RO-positive) T cells does exist; therefore, hyperreactive T cells would not be available in sufficient numbers to leave the bloodstream through blood vessel endothelium, and the periodontium would be left without these important defenses and thus exposed to chronic infections. A disregulated factor affecting the transition from "naive" to "memory" T cells and the increase in certain surface molecules expression (i.e., CD2, LFA-1, CD29, and CD45RO) or the reversion from memory to naive T cells may be responsible for the disease pathogenesis. CD2 and LFA-1 molecule synthesis might be conjointly regulated on T lymphocytes.

Abstract
A 2-year-old female with important signs of immune response failure against virus, bacteria, fungi and protozoa and no obvious humoral or lymphocyte phenotypical defect was studied. Both peripheral blood mononuclear cells and IL-2-dependent T cell lines derived from the patient showed a severe selective T cell activation impairment via CD2, CD3 and CD43; however, this defect was reversible with the addition of either IL-2, or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or anti-CD28 antibodies. Concordantly, the induction of IL-2 (and, in part, IL-3 and IL-4) messenger RNA was severely reduced in stimulated T cells, but that of other cytokines was either normal (IL-5) or only slightly diminished (interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)). It is concluded that an activation T cell defect exists previous to protein kinase C (PKC) and between membrane receptors and the activation pathway of certain response genes encoding for interleukins involved in proliferation (i.e. IL-2, IL-3 and IL-4), but not of others (i.e. IL-5). The use of T cell lines from human T lymphocyte activation deficiencies allows dissection of T cell pathology and the corresponding physiological pathways. In the present description, there is an evident independence of the CD28 T cell activation pathway from those induced through CD2 or CD3, and the differential gene regulation of the different interleukins.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is reported to cause transient immunosuppression in man. In this study we have analysed the effect of CMV on T lymphocyte function in 29 children diagnosed for acute CMV infection. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from the patients showed a significant specific impairment in their proliferative response to enterotoxins A and C1, to concanavalin A and to the anti-CD3 MoAb OKT3. The impaired responses were corrected with exogenous IL-2. In contrast, stimulation using phytohaemagglutinin, as well as activation signals delivered through the surface molecules CD26 or CD28, elicited normal proliferative responses in CMV PBMC. The results indicate that the T cell anergy associated with CMV infection is restricted to the T cell receptor/CD3 activation pathway.

Abstract
Extended HLA haplotypes frequencies were estimated from the HLA, C2, Bf and C4 phenotypes of 74 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDD), 92 with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), 44 with Berger's disease (BD), 83 with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD), and 140 healthy controls. The extended HLA haplotype B18 CF130 DR3 DQw2, which is common (around 10% phenotype frequency) in healthy Spaniards and in other populations of paleo-North African origin, was found to be significantly less frequent in NIDD, JRA and BD, whereas its frequency was normal in IDD (although DR3 DQw2 haplotypes were increased in the latter disease). These data support the existence of a common HLA-linked pathogeneic mechanism in NIDD, JRA and BD, and point to a genetic difference between IDD and NIDD at the HLA level. This effect is readily detectable in our population because the uncommon BfF1 allele marks that haplotype instead of the more common BfS, which marks B8 CS01 DR3 DQw2 in other Caucasians. Our results support the hypothesis of strong selective pressures operating at the HLA level to preserve extended HLA haplotypes with advantageous gene sets from dilution by crossing-over. Imbalanced incomplete haplotypes may give rise to inappropriate T-cell repertoire selection in the thymus and/or antigen handling in the periphery, and be partly responsible for the pathogenesis of certain HLA-linked diseases (i.e. NIDD, JRA, and BD).

Abstract
The selection of T lymphocytes in the thymus and their activation upon the encounter with foreign antigens in the periphery require the aggregation and signals of the T cell receptor (TcR)/CD3 complex and several surface molecules termed coreceptors (notably CD4 or CD8 and CD45). The spatial arrangement and interactions of the different molecules in the resulting multimolecular recognition structure are mostly unknown. Here we report, from studies on a healthy human CD3 gamma deficiency, that the lack of the CD3 gamma component of the TcR/CD3 complex is associated with a long-term severe defect of peripheral blood CD4+ CD45RA+ and CD8+ lymphocytes, whereas CD4+CD45RO+, B and natural killer lymphocytes are unaffected. These results suggest that the CD3 gamma site of the TcR/CD3 complex is required for the peripheral representation of certain T cell types.

Abstract
A selective CD3 gamma defect, involving point mutations in both the paternal and the maternal genes, has been analyzed. The CD3 gamma defect affected two brothers of a four sibs family; one of them died at the age of 3 of a viral pneumonia with concomitant autoimmune features (Haemolytic anaemia and gut epithelial cell autoantibodies), whereas the other is still alive at the age of 10 with relatively mild infection episodes. In this work, the effects of the absence of the CD3 gamma chain in the structure and signal transduction of the T-cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex and in the selection and function of T lymphocytes were studied. The absence of CD3 gamma did not prevent the expression of certain amounts of TCR/CD3 complexes on the surface of T lymphocytes. This suggests the existence of at least two TCR/CD3 isoforms in T cells, either with or without CD3 gamma. A persistent low proportion of CD8+ T cells, not functional in vitro (they were unable to proliferate) and probably in vivo (associated to a lethal viral pneumonia), was observed. In contrast, the proportion of CD4+ T cells was not altered, and they were functional both in vitro (they showed a normal proliferation and a low, but detectable, increase of cytosolic Ca2+ in response to anti-TCR/CD3 stimuli, although the production of IL-2 was impaired) and in vitro (they normally helped B cells). These results show that the absence of CD3 gamma affects the selection and function of cytotoxic, but apparently not helper, T lymphocytes, although the possibility that the CD4+ T cells represent a specific subpopulation can not be ruled out. They also suggest that the interactions of the TCR/CD3 complex with its co-receptors during thymic selection and antigen recognition in the periphery may be asymmetrical, with CD8 interacting through CD3 gamma and, probably, CD4 through the homologous CD3 delta.

Abstract
The recent description of a selective human CD3 gamma deficiency and other T-cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 structural and functional defects, together with previous biochemical data on the structure and interactions of the TCR/CD3 complex, may aid in elucidating the physiology of this multi-subunit membrane ensemble. CD3 gamma seemed to be required for the commitment and thymic maturation of an important fraction of T lymphocytes to the CD8 (but not CD4) lineage, perhaps by participating with the CD8 co-receptor in the instructive signal delivered through the alpha beta TCR during intrathymic positive selection by HLA class I molecules. The homologous CD3 delta component would, in contrast, be necessary for the selection of CD4 lymphocytes by HLA class II molecules. The interaction of CD4 and CD8 with the TCR/CD3 complex during antigen recognition may thus be asymmetrical, taking place through CD3 delta and gamma, respectively. Also, the existence of in vivo functional TCR/CD3 hemireceptors (lacking either CD3 gamma or CD3 delta) is suggested, and defects in their relative amount on the T-cell surface may disrupt unresponsiveness to self antigens and generate autoimmunity.

Abstract
The transient T cell anergy associated with acute infectious mononucleosis (IM) caused by the Epstein-Barr virus has been analysed in a sample of 14 IM children. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from IM patients showed a significant specific impairment in their proliferative response to both phytohaemagglutinin (PHA; P less than 0.05) and to an anti-CD3 MoAb (P less than 0.001), although both responses reached normal control levels by addition of a submitogenic dose of either phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2). In contrast, activation signals delivered through other surface molecules (CD2, CD28) or other transmembrane pathways (PMA plus a calcium ionophore) elicited normal or high proliferative responses in most IM PBMC. In a group of five patients tested, the synthesis of IL-2 by IM PBMC in the presence of PMA was impaired when PHA or anti-CD3 was used as stimulus, but it reached normal levels with anti-CD2 or ionophore. Lastly, PHA failed to induce IL-2 alpha receptor (IL-2R alpha) expression in IM PBMC from four tested patients, but the presence of PMA completely corrected this defect. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that the T cell anergy associated with acute IM is due to a T cell receptor (TCR)-specific impairment in the induction of genes involved in T cell proliferation (including those coding for IL-2 and IL-2R alpha) upon membrane signalling to otherwise normal T lymphocytes, since CD2, CD28 and certain transmembrane activation pathways are uncoupled from CD3 in these particular pathological conditions (and perhaps in most in vivo situations). This and other similar experimental approaches to transient secondary immunodeficiencies may help to unravel the physiopathological role of different surface molecules in T cell activation.

Abstract
The increasing understanding of T-cell activation is paralleled by the recognition of a growing range of 'experiments of nature' that cause T-cell activation deficiencies. Analysis of these deficiencies is, in turn, contributing to the understanding of T-cell function in vivo. Here, José Regueiro, Antonio Arnaiz-Villena and colleagues review current knowledge of structural and functional T-cell defects and the implications of these for T-cell biology.

Abstract
Certain immunological parameters (i.e. low CD4+ T cell numbers, high serum soluble CD8) have been described as prognostic factors for the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection to later clinical stages. In the present study we have found in one hundred HIV-infected Spanish patients (81% drug abusers, 7% homosexuals, 6% heterosexuals, and 6% other or unknown risk groups) that CD11b+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells are increased in those with persistent lymphadenopathy as compared to other clinical stages (asymptomatic, AIDS-related complex and AIDS). Serum IgA was significantly increased in AIDS patients, and in patients at any other clinical stage who had concomitant infections (mainly mycobacterial and fungal). CD11b (an integrin with complement receptor functions) may thus be of clinical interest for the staging of HIV-infected patients, and reflect stage-selective immunological changes in mononuclear cell biology during HIV infection. High IgA on the other hand, would be a marker of concomitant infection as well as of disease progression. The results concern mostly drug addicts (the main risk group in Spain), but may apply to the other risk groups because no significant differences were detected between drug addicts (n = 81) and non-drug addicts (n = 19) for the studied variables (p greater than 0.05).

Abstract
Two patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in whom cutaneous lesions were the first clinical feature were studied. Neither the morphology nor the histology of the lesions was uniform, although we have noted some common findings that can, in subsequent cases, lead us to suspect SCID. The immunologic defects were not uniform, representing the two poles of the spectrum of SCID. We believe that early recognition of the skin lesions is very important, since the patient's life expectancy can be increased by a bone marrow transplantation (1).

Abstract
We describe an infant whose peripheral blood mononuclear cells were unable to proliferate or synthesize IL-2 in response to a mitogenic combination of antibodies directed against CD2 and CD28. This peculiar defect, which has been stable to date, was attributed to an impairment in CD28-mediated T cell activation, because further comitogenic combinations containing anti-CD28 monoclonals also failed to induce normal proliferation of the patient's T cells. In contrast, proliferation after membrane stimulation (with anti-CD2, recombinant IL-2, or certain lectins) or transmembrane activation (with phorbol ester and calcium ionophore) was normal, suggesting that his lymphocytes did not have a general membrane or intracellular signalling impairment. A T cell line derived from the patient confirmed the existence of a severe defect in CD28-mediated T cell proliferation, but also showed a profound impairment in CD3-induced T cell proliferation. Other cell surface molecules like CD2 and CD25 were, in contrast, capable of transducing normal proliferation signals. As all relevant molecules were detectable by cytofluorography and immunoprecipitation, we conclude that the patient's lymphocytes had an intrinsic defect in the delivery of CD28-mediated signals which, in the absence of monocytes, also affected CD3-mediated proliferation. The study of this novel kind of immunodeficiency may help to unravel the complex interactions that take place among CD2, CD3 and CD28 during T cell activation. The presence of an idiopathic thrombocytopenia in the patient suggests the intriguing possibility of a role for CD28 in the maintenance of peripheral blood platelets levels, although alternative interpretations are not ruled out.

Abstract
Gut epithelial cell autoantibodies have been considered a hallmark of autoimmune enteropathy, a disorder occurring in children with protracted diarrhea of unknown etiology. Four patients (two male and two female) with such autoantibodies were studied. Immunofluorescence analysis showed two different disjunctive staining patterns: complement-fixing apical (three of four) and cytoplasmic (the remaining fourth one), which are shown to be directed against different structures. All three patients positive for complement-fixing apical gut epithelial cell autoantibodies had abnormal T-cell responses in vitro, one of them with an immunoglobulin G2 immunoglobulin deficiency and another with an immunoglobulin A deficiency. An immunoglobulin A deficiency without T-cell alterations was also diagnosed in the cytoplasmic gut epithelial cell autoantibody-positive patient. These findings suggest that different immunologic alterations (either a T-cell abnormality or immunoglobulin deficiency) may favor the appearance of gut epithelial cell autoantibodies (complement-fixing apical or cytoplasmic, respectively). Furthermore, these autoantibodies should not be considered a specific marker of autoimmune enteropathy, because they may not always be associated with such a disease: two patients with apical gut epithelial cell autoantibodies showed no signs of intestinal lesion or diarrhea.

Abstract
A T cell line termed DIL2 has been derived from an infant with a polyclonal T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 cell surface expression defect. Indirect immunofluorescence showed that the expression of certain TCR/CD3 epitopes (like those detected by WT31 and BMA031 monoclonals) was strongly reduced (around five-fold) on DIL2, whereas other epitopes (like those detected by SP34 and Leu4) were only around two-fold lower than in normal T cell lines. Specific immunoprecipitates of surface-radioiodinated DIL2 cells contained TCR-alpha, TCR-beta, CD3-delta, CD3-epsilon and TCR-zeta chains, but lacked CD3-gamma. This structural TCR/CD3 variant was, however, capable of transducing certain activation signals, since normal proliferation and a low but significant calcium flux was observed in DIL2 cells after engagement with specific antibodies. Our data suggest that a functional TCR/CD3 complex can be expressed on the surface of T cells in the absence of CD3-gamma.

Necropsic lymphoid tissues obtained from an infant with a novel type of immunodeficiency consisting of a peripheral blood T lymphocyte antigen receptor (TCR) surface expression defect, were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for the expression of various TCR-associated epitopes. The work was aimed to characterize the biochemical basis of this kind of disorder and confirm the defect in different lymphoid tissues. Within an assessed lymphoid depletion, the patient's tissues showed a normal expression of several TCR epitopes (those associated to CD3 epsilon, CD3 delta and the clonotypic -Ti- alpha and beta chains). In contrast, the expression of the epitopes recognized by the monoclonals OKT3, WT31, and BMA031 was severely diminished. Our results therefore support that CD3 epsilon, CD3 delta, Ti alpha and Ti beta are probably not involved in this type of immunodeficiency, and strongly suggest that CD3 gamma (forming part of the epitope recognized by OKT3) may rather be the affected chain giving rise to the defective surface T cell phenotype; however, alternative interpretations are not ruled out. The disrupted TCR thus formed, containing Ti alpha beta heterodimers and CD3 epsilon and CD3 delta subunits, but lacking normal CD3 gamma, would in this scheme lack the conformational framework determinants recognized by WT31 and BMA031.

Abstract
A diallelic restriction fragment length polymorphism of the CD3-epsilon (epsilon) gene, which encodes for an invariant component of the human T-lymphocyte receptor, is observed when using genomic DNA TaqI digests probed with a CD3-epsilon chain cDNA probe. This combination shows two alleles of 9.1 kb and 8.4 kb with a frequency of 0.66 and 0.34, respectively, in the Spanish population. None of these alleles is associated with susceptibility to juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).

Abstract
B lymphocytes require appropriate T lymphocyte cooperation to synthesize immunoglobulins (Ig). Such interaction presumably takes place after engagement of the T cell receptor (TcR) by antigen. The present work addresses B lymphocyte function (and phenotype) in a novel type of immunodeficiency which is characterized by a TcR expression defect. In contrast to expectations, the two affected siblings that were studied displayed normal in vivo antibody responses to both endogenous and exogenous protein antigens. However, they showed impaired responses to certain polysaccharide antigens together with a selective IgG2 deficiency. These results suggest that some polysaccharide responses may be more T cell dependent than previously suspected, and support the notion that T cell dysfunctions (of this or other kind), rather than Ig gene deletions, may be the molecular basis of certain IgG2 deficiencies. To rule out a concomitant gross B cell dysfunction in these individuals, B lymphocyte phenotype and function were assayed in vitro, and found to be normal. A T cell line derived from one of the siblings displayed an abnormal TcR on the cell surface, but it showed several normal TcR-mediated functions. This suggests that the low number of peripheral T lymphocytes that have been found to express low TcR levels in these immunodeficiencies may be operational, and supplying sufficient "help" for the observed normal antibody responses to all tested protein, but not polysaccharide, antigens.

Abstract
Purified human spermatozoa do not regularly stimulate lymphocytes in spermlymphocyte cultures (SLC). This lack of consistent stimulation was found not to be dependent on sperm/lymphocyte ratio or on culture peak response time. A few weak stimulations obtained are not HLA-D or sex dependent. Contaminating seminal cells other than spermatozoa (SC non-SZ) may be responsible for the high stimulations found in SLC by others, since, in our hands, purified suspensions of SC non-SZ stimulate allogeneic lymphocytes in an HLA-D-dependent fashion, and such responses are abrogated by anti-HLA-DR monoclonal antibodies. These functional data confirm our previous finding of HLA-DR molecules on SC non-SZ by absorptions (and a lack of expression on spermatozoa) and suggest the concomitant expression of HLA-DQ and -DP products.
