Abstract

Nine patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases were studied for the presence of lymphocytes bearing surface immunoglobulins, complement receptors, and sheep erythrocyte receptors. All were found to have a normal or increased percentage of lymphocytes bearing complement receptors, often despite a deficiency of immunoglobulin-bearing lymphocytes. The results suggest that these patients have a deficiency of surface immunoglobulin synthesis but are not deficient in B lymphocytes. Unsensitized sheep erythrocyte (E) binding (T) lymphocytes were normal or decreased; the sum of E-binding (T) plus complement receptor-bearing (B) lymphocytes was generally within the normal range. One exception was a patient with combined system immunodeficiency who had a decreased total of T plus B lymphocytes.
