Functional characterization of the human dendritic cell immunodeficiency associated with the IRF8K108E mutation
13 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported on a unique patient in whom homozygosity for a mutation at IRF8 (IRF8(K108E)) causes a severe immunodeficiency. Laboratory evaluation revealed a highly unusual myeloid compartment, remarkable for the complete absence of CD141 and CD161 monocytes, absence of CD11c1 conventional dendritic cells (DCs) and CD11c1/CD1231 plasmacytoid DCs, and striking granulocytic hyperplasia. The patient...
