Expansion of functionally immature transitional B cells is associated with human-immunodeficient states characterized by impaired humoral immunity

Abstract
X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is a severe immunodeficiency associated with a marked reduction in circulating memory B cells. Our investigation of the B cell compartment of XLP patients revealed an increase in the frequency of a population of B cells distinct from those previously defined. This population displayed increased expression of CD10, CD24, and CD38, indicating that it could consist of circulating immature/transitional B cells. Supporting this possibility, CD10+CD24highCD38high B cells displayed other immature characteristics, including unmutated Ig V genes and elevated levels of surface IgM; they also lacked expression of Bcl-2 and a panel of activation molecules. The capacity of CD24highCD38high B cells to proliferate, secrete Ig, and migrate in vitro was greatly reduced compared with mature B cell populations. Moreover, CD24highCD38high B cells were increased in the peripheral blood of neonates, patients with common variable immunodeficiency, and patients recovering from hemopoietic stem cell transplant. Thus, an expansion of functionally immature B cells may contribute to the humoral immunodeficient state that is characteristic of neonates, as well as patients with XLP or common variable immunodeficiency, and those recovering from a stem cell transplant. Further investigation of transitional B cells will improve our understanding of human B cell development and how alterations to this process may precipitate immunodeficiency or autoimmunity.
