Abstract excerpt
Omenn syndrome (OS) is characterised by hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, erythema, eosinophilia, elevated IgE, oligoclonal T cell expansions and recombinase activating gene (RAG) mutations. We investigated 9 cases of OS to correlate genotype with immunophenotype using a two-color flow cytometry with monoclonal antibodies against CD3 and TCRVB families to map TCRVB usage. T and B clonal cell populations were...
