Immunodeficiency secondary to anticytokine autoantibodies Browne SK; Holland SMCurr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol 2010[Dec]; 10 (6): 534-41PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Anticytokine autoantibodies are an important and emerging mechanism of disease pathogenesis. We will review the clinical and laboratory features of syndromes in which immunodeficiency is caused by or associated with neutralizing anticytokine autoantibodies. RECENT FINDINGS: A growing number of patients have been described who demonstrate unique infectious phenotypes associated with neutralizing autoantibodies that target a particular cytokine known to participate in host defense against the offending organism. Examples include antigranulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) autoantibodies and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis; anti-interferon (IFN)-gamma autoantibodies and disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM); anti-interleukin-(IL)-6 autoantibodies and severe staphylococcal skin infection; anti-IL-17A, anti-IL-17F, or anti-IL-22 autoantibodies in patients with mucocutaneous candidiasis in the setting of both the autoimmune polyendocrinopathy, candidiasis, ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) syndrome and in cases of thymoma. SUMMARY: Anticytokine autoantibodies have manifestations that are diverse, ranging from asymptomatic to life-threatening. These emerging and fascinating causes of acquired immunodeficiency may explain some previously idiopathic syndromes.|Antibodies, Blocking/*immunology[MESH]|Autoantibodies/*immunology[MESH]|Candidiasis, Chronic Mucocutaneous/genetics/*immunology[MESH]|Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor/deficiency/immunology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Interferon-gamma/deficiency/immunology[MESH]|Interleukin-17/deficiency/immunology[MESH]|Interleukin-22[MESH]|Interleukin-6/deficiency/immunology[MESH]|Interleukins/deficiency/immunology[MESH]|Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous/genetics/*immunology[MESH]|Polyendocrinopathies, Autoimmune/genetics/*immunology[MESH]|Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis/genetics/*immunology[MESH]|Staphylococcal Skin Infections/genetics/*immunology[MESH]|Thymoma/genetics/*immunology[MESH] |
