Intrinsic dendritic cell abnormalities in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked disorder characterized by immune deficiency, eczema, and microthrombocytopenia. Biochemical evidence indicates that the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is involved in regulating the actin cytoskeleton. Here we report that WAS dendritic cells (DC) have an immunophenotype very similar to normal DC. However, as a consequence of an intrinsically abnormal...
