Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the zinc finger of I kappa B kinase gamma (IKK gamma) are associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia-immune deficiency (HED-ID) in which the major immune deficit is the inability to switch Ab heavy chain class. However, the pathophysiologic role of the mutations has not been fully delineated. Since help from activated Th cells is essential in Ab class switching, we sought to examine how these...
