| الملخص: | <p dir="ltr">Inborn errors of IFN-γ immunity can underlie tuberculosis (TB). We report three patients from two kindreds without EBV viremia or disease but with severe TB and inherited complete ITK deficiency, a condition associated with severe EBV disease that renders immunological studies challenging. They have CD4<sup>+</sup> αβ T lymphocytopenia with a concomitant expansion of CD4<sup>−</sup>CD8<sup>−</sup> double-negative (DN) αβ and Vδ2− γδ T lymphocytes, both displaying a unique CD38<sup>+</sup>CD45RA<sup>+</sup>T<sup>-</sup>bet<sup>+</sup>EOMES<sup>−</sup> phenotype. Itk-deficient mice recapitulated an expansion of the γδ T and DN αβ T lymphocyte populations in the thymus and spleen, respectively. Moreover, the patients’ T lymphocytes secrete small amounts of IFN-γ in response to TCR crosslinking, mitogens, or forced synapse formation with autologous B lymphocytes. Finally, the patients’ total lymphocytes secrete small amounts of IFN-γ, and CD4<sup>+</sup>, CD8<sup>+</sup>, DN αβ T, Vδ2+ γδ T, and MAIT cells display impaired IFN-γ production in response to BCG. Inherited ITK deficiency undermines the development and function of various IFN-γ–producing T cell subsets, thereby underlying TB.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Journal of Experimental Medicine<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1084/jem.20220484" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1084/jem.20220484</a></p> |
