RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In newborns, dramatic changes occur in the blood and bone marrow during the first hours; there are rapid fluctuations in the quantities of leukocytes populations. In this work, we investigated leukocytes subsets counts in two types of blood samples (cord blood and capillary blood) extracted from healthy newborns. METHODS: Blood samples from Mexican neonates were collected by Instituto Nacional de Pediatría with written informed consent. For all samples we determined leukocytes populations; neutrophils, monocytes, total lymphocytes, and populations: T CD3+ cells, TCD4+ cells, T CD8+ cells, B CD19+ cells and NK CD16+56 cells by flow cytometry. We used the Mann-Whitney U test to compare leukocytes of cord and capillary blood; also to analyze the differences between gender and we obtained reference values of the cord and capillary blood in neonates. RESULTS: We observed higher absolute counts and frequencies of total lymphocyte in capillary blood compared with cord blood. In absolute numbers, the capillary blood showed significant differences in neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, T CD3+ cells, T CD4+ cells, T CD8+ cells, B CD19+ cells, and NK cells; no significant differences were observed between genders. DISCUSSION: Our data contribute to newborn Mexican reference values for all these populations of leukocytes. We found that the dispersal range differs between the two types of blood, suggesting a different fate in the immune response. Immunophenotyping of the blood cell population to identify these cells is an essential tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of neonates with immunodeficiencies and other immune disorders

RESUMO

Introduction: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a disorder of phagocyte function, characterized by pyogenic infections and granuloma formation caused by defects in NADPH oxidase complex activity. Although the effect of CGD mainly reflects the phagocytic compartment, B cell responses are also impaired in patients with CGD. Materials and methods: Flow cytometric analysis was performed on peripheral blood samples from 35 CGD patients age-matched with healthy controls (HC). The target cells of our study were the naive (IgD+/CD27-), memory (IgD-/CD27+), and B1a (CD5+) cells. Immunoglobulins (Igs) were also measured. This study was performed in a Latin American cohort. Results: We found significantly higher levels of naive B cells and B1a cells, but lower levels of memory B cells were found in CGD patients compared to HC. There was no significant difference of cell percentages per inheritance type. Discussion: Our findings suggest that the deficiency of NADPH oxidase components can affect the differentiation of naive B cells to memory B cells. Consequently, memory cells will be low, which also influenced the expression of CD27 in memory B cells and as a result, the percentage of naive cells increases. An altered phenotype of B lymphocytes in CGD patients may contribute to the opportunistic infections and autoimmune disorders that are seen in this disease

RESUMO

Background: The del22q11 syndrome patients present immunological abnormalities associated to thymus alterations. Up to 75% of them present cardiopathies and thymus is frequently removed during surgery. The thymectomy per se has a deleterious effect concerning lymphocyte subpopulations, and T cell function. When compared to healthy controls, these patients have higher infections propensity of variable severity. The factors behind these variations are unknown. We compared immunological profiles of del22q11.2 Syndrome patients with and without thymectomy to establish its effect in the immune profile. Methods: Forty-six del22q11.2 syndrome patients from 1 to 16 years old, 19 of them with partial or total thymectomy were included. Heart disease type, heart surgery, infections events and thymus resection were identified. Immunoglobulin levels, flow cytometry for lymphocytes subpopulations and TREC levels were determined, and statistical analyses were performed. Results: The thymectomy group had a lower lymphocyte index, both regarding total cell count and when comparing age-adjusted Z scores. Also, CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ lower levels were observed in this group, the lowest count in those patients who had undergone thymus resection during the first year of life. Their TREC level median was 23.6/μL vs 16.1 miL in the non-thymus group (p = 0.22). No differences were identified regarding immunoglobulin levels or infection events frequencies over the previous year. Conclusion: Patients with del22q11.2 syndrome subjected to thymus resection present lower lymphocyte and TREC indexes when compared to patients without thymectomy. This situation may be influenced by the age at the surgery and the time elapsed since the procedure
