Abstract excerpt
We have previously described a new type of selective T-cell deficiency characterized by persistent infections reminiscent of severe combined immunodeficiency. We show here that selective T-cell deficiency patients carry a mutation of zap-70 protein tyrosine kinase, resulting in a loss of the activity of this kinase. The thymus of zap-70(-1-1) patients shows the presence of CD4CD8 double-positive cells in the...
