Abnormalities of CD4+CD25highforkhead box P3 (FoxP3)+ regulatory T cells (Treg) have been associated with autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, and we hypothesized that CVID might be characterized by Treg abnormalities. CD3+ cells from patients and controls were analysed for the expression of FoxP3 mRNA by real time reverse transcription\u2013polymerase chain reaction (RT\u2013PCR). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from CVID patients and controls were stained for Treg markers, analysed by flow cytometry and compared to clinical characteristics. The main findings were: (i) CVID patients had significantly decreased expression of FoxP3 mRNA and decreased proportions of CD4+CD25highFoxP3+ cells compared to controls; (ii) CVID patients with splenomegaly had even lower proportions of Treg compared to other patients and controls; (iii) serum levels of the inflammatory marker neopterin were correlated negatively with the proportions of Treg within the CVID population, while there was no significant association with bronchiectasis. We have demonstrated decreased proportions of Treg in CVID patients, particularly in those with signs of chronic inflammation. Decreased proportions of TReg are suggested to be pathogenetically important in autoimmunity, and our results suggest that TReg may have a similar role in CVID.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2249.2006.03314.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,13]],"date-time":"2008-10-13T18:50:13Z","timestamp":1223923813000},"page":"521-525","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":92,"title":["Low numbers of regulatory T cells in common variable immunodeficiency: association with chronic inflammation<i>in vivo<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"147","author":[{"given":"B","family":"Fevang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Internal Medicine, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Institute of Medical Microbiology, Section of Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Yndestad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Internal Medicine, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Institute of Medical Microbiology, Section of Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W J","family":"Sandberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Internal Medicine, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Institute of Medical Microbiology, Section of Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A M","family":"Holm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Internal Medicine, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Institute of Medical Microbiology, Section of Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Internal Medicine, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Institute of Medical Microbiology, Section of Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Aukrust","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Internal Medicine, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Institute of Medical Microbiology, Section of Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S S","family":"Fr\u00f8land","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Internal Medicine, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Institute of Medical Microbiology, Section of Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022010415140041600_b1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Primary immunodeficiency diseases.
