ELISPOT assay in PID functional investigation of B cells Detection of specific antibody production on B cell level independent on substitution Ig therapy
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN SUBJECTS • 37 CVID patients (15 males, 24 females, agerange20 - 74 years) • 81 healthydonors (28 males, 53 females, agerange 14-74 years) VACCINATION • ALTEANA (Sevapharmaa.s., Prague, Czech Republic) • PNEUMO 23 (Sanofi Pasteur, Lyon, France) ELISPOT(isolated MNC ofperipheralblood, calculated on CD19+) • day 0, day 7, weeks 4-11
HEALTHY DONORS Vaccination with PROTEIN antigen 50 controls (16 males, 34 females, age range 22 – 72 years) Vaccination with POLYSACHARIDE antigen 10 controls ( 4 males, 6 females, age range 15 – 46 years) Vaccination with PROTEIN and POLYSACHARIDE antigen 21 controls (8 males, 13 females, age range 14 – 50 years)
CVID PATIENTS Vaccination with PROTEIN and POLYSACHARIDE antigen 37 patients (15 males, 24 females, age range 20 - 74 years)

CONCLUSIONS The ELISPOT assayissensitive functional test fordeterminationofspecificantibodyproduction in PIDpatientsundersubstitutionimmunoglobulintherapy. In well-defined CVID patientsalmost no detectableperipheral B-cellsproducingspecific IgG, IgA and IgM antibodiesagains Tet. Tox. and PCP wereobserved. Ifthe IgG response wasdetectableafter Tet. Tox. vaccination most patientsbut not allwerecharacterized as smB+21norm according to EUROclass.
