Abstract

The evidence of NK cell implication in human diseases has initially been shown for antiviral immunity and tumor surveillance. Nowadays, increased attention is being paid to the aspect of NK cells and innate immunity in studies on autoimmune diseases. However, despite a growing knowledge on NK cell function and regulation, their role in human autoimmune disease still remains controversial. In animal models, studies of NK cells have shown conflicting results toward a disease-promoting or disease-protective role. Similarly, in human diseases, available data suggest an unequivocal role of NK cells. Yet, the understanding of NK cell implication in human diseases is far from being achieved. We review here the current knowledge on NK cell biology in human autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and discuss their possible mechanisms of action in these complex pathologies.

14. Clinical and Immunological Approach to the Diagnosis of Immunodeficiencies

Abstract

The rational diagnosis of immunodeficiencies is increasingly gaining importance in clinical practice. The availibility of highly complex and expensive immunologic and molecular methods to identify subtle defects in the immune apparatus often contrasts with the limited immunological knowledge of the physicians in charge of immunocompromised patients. In this situation a practical guide for the diagnosis of immunodeficiencies may be helpful. Any evaluation should start with simple, informative, and inexpensive measures before proceeding to more complex, specialized, and expensive diagnostic procedures. Prime emphasis is placed on defects of the specific immune system, which account for 80%–90% of clinically relevant immunodeficiencies. The ultimate aim of each immunodiagnostic measure is the establishment of a validated diagnosis, the identification of etiological factors, and the proposal of a causal therapy.
