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.</p>","PeriodicalId":79340,"journal":{"name":"Immunodeficiency","volume":"4 1-4","pages":"121-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18909723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cause for this is believed to be the accumulation of one of the substrates for ADA, 2'-deoxyadenosine to which especially T cells are hypersensitive. This disease can be treated successfully with bone marrow transplantation if a suitable donor is available. Alternatively, the human ADA gene could be introduced into the autologous bone marrow. We have generated a retroviral vector containing the human ADA gene. With this vector we were able to restore human ADA-activity in ADA-SCID T cells to normal levels resulting in a sensitivity to 2'-deoxyadenosine that is also found for T cells from a healthy donor. In murine studies we have shown that our retrovirus can infect pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells resulting in long-term (> 6 months) expression of human ADA in the hemopoietic system of transplanted animals. These results were confirmed in rhesus monkeys where we were able to detect the provirus in both peripheral blood mononuclear cells and granulocytes for as long as the animals were analyzed, i.e. up to more than 1 year post bone marrow transplantation. On the basis of these results we have proposed a clinical protocol for the treatment of ADA-SCID patients with bone marrow gene therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":79340,"journal":{"name":"Immunodeficiency","volume":"4 1-4","pages":"335-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18907037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
