Abstract excerpt
Up to 60% of cases of the autosomal recessive immunodeficiency hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) are associated with mutations in the perforin (PRF1) gene. In this study, we expressed wild-type and mutated perforin in rat basophil leukemia cells to study the effect on lytic function of the substitutions A91V and N252S (commonly considered to be neutral polymorphisms) and 22 perforin missense substitutions...
