Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common clinical primary immunodeficiency. It is characterized by a defect in B-cell differentiation to plasma and memory B cells. Moreover, numerous T-cell abnormalities have been reported and include decreased T-cell count and proliferative response, increased T-cell activation and apoptosis, and abnormalities in cytokine production. The aims of this review are to describe phenotypic and functional defects in T cells in CVID patients and to review the literature with respect to the effects of immunoglobulin replacement on the T-cell component in CVID patients. Key words: Common variable immunodeficiency. T cell. Helper T cells. Regulatory T cells. ResumenLa inmunodeficiencia común variable (CVID) es la inmunodeficiencia primaria más frecuente. Se caracteriza por un defecto en la diferenciación de linfocitos B hacia células plasmáticas y linfocitos B memoria. Se han descrito numerosas alteraciones en los linfocitos T de estos pacientes, tales como disminución en el número de linfocitos T y en sus respuestas proliferativas, aumento en la activación de células T y en la apoptosis, así como alteraciones en la producción de citokinas. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir las alteraciones funcionales y fenotípicas de los linfocitos T en los pacientes con CVID y revisar la bibliografía en relación a los efectos que la administración de inmunoglobulinas produce en los linfocitos T de los pacientes con CVID. Palabras clave: Inmunodeficiencia común variable. Células T. Células T helper. Células T reguladoras.

“…The cellular alterations in CVID comprise a spectrum of B- and T-cell abnormalities, including defects in B-cell differentiation into plasma cell and memory B cells, defects in Treg and Breg cells, accelerated T-cell apoptosis, and abnormality in cytokine production secondary to gene polymorphisms [6,65,66,67,68]. The influence of these defects on the interaction between T and B cells not only could explain the immunodeficiency, but also the development of autoimmunity in CVID patients [6].…”

Primary antibody deficiencies (PADs) are the most common inherited primary immunodeficiencies in humans, characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia, an inability to produce specific antibodies, and recurrent infections mainly caused by encapsulated bacteria. However, it has been shown that inflammatory disorders, granulomatous lesions, lymphoproliferative diseases, cancer, and autoimmunity are associated with the various types of PAD. Both systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases could be attributed to B-cell defects in PAD patients. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura and autoimmune hemolytic anemia are the most common autoimmune disorders in this group of patients. The aim of this review is to describe the proposed mechanisms for autoimmunity and to review the literature with respect to the reported autoimmune disorders in each type of PAD.

“…Patients with CVID have a common feature in failure of B cell function, although a number of T cell abnormalities have been described, including reduced naive CD4 T cells [7], reduced proliferative responses to mitogens [8,9], reduced cytokine responses to mitogens and recall antigen [10,11] and reduced T regulatory cells (Tregs) [12][13][14] in selected patients. A subset of CVID patients are reported to have an increased susceptibility to recurrent viral infections or opportunistic infections that are more associated with T cell defects [7,15], particularly in those patients from consanguineous families [16], suggesting an unknown, autosomal recessive, combined immune deficiency.…”

Summary Common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVID) are a group of heterogeneous conditions that have in common primary failure of B cell function, although numerous T cell abnormalities have been described, including reduced proliferative response and reduced regulatory T cells. This study compared the T cell phenotype of CVID patients subdivided into clinical phenotypes as well as patients with partial antibody deficiencies [immunoglobulin (Ig)G subclass deficiency and selective IgA deficiency], X‐linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) and healthy and disease controls. Absolute numbers of T cell subpopulations were measured by four‐colour flow cytometry: naive T cells, central and effector memory and terminally differentiated (TEM) T cells, using CD45RA and CCR7 expression. Early, intermediate and late differentiation status of T cells was measured by CD27/CD28 expression. Putative follicular T cells, recent thymic emigrants and regulatory T cells were also assessed. Significant reduction in naive CD4 T cells, with reduced total CD4 and recent thymic emigrant numbers, was observed in CVID patients, most pronounced in those with autoimmune cytopenias or polyclonal lymphoproliferation. These findings suggest a lack of replenishment by new thymically derived cells. CD8 naive T cells were reduced in CVID patients, most significantly in the autoimmune cytopenia subgroup. There was a reduction in early differentiated CD4 and CD8 T cells and increased CD8 TEM in the CVID patients, particularly autoimmune cytopenia and polyclonal lymphoproliferation subgroups, suggesting a more activated T cell phenotype, due perhaps to an antigen‐driven process. XLA patients had significantly reduced putative follicular T cells, which may depend on B cells for survival, while no significant alterations were observed in the T cells of those with IgG subclass deficiency or selective IgA deficiency.
