We retrospectively analyzed the B-cell function and leukocyte chimerism of 22 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency with B cells (B+ SCID) who survived more than 2 years after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to determine the possible consequences of BMT procedures, leukocyte chimerism, and SCID molecular deficit on B-cell function outcome. Circulating T cells were of donor origin in all patients. In recipients of HLA-identical BMT (n = 5), monocytes were of host origin in 5 and B cells were of host origin in 4 and of mixed origin in 1. In recipients of HLA haploidentical T-cell–depleted BMT (n = 17), B cells and monocytes were of host origin in 14 and of donor origin in 3. Engraftment of B cells was found to be associated with normal B-cell function. In contrast, 10 of 18 patients with host B cells still require Ig substitution. Conditioning regimen (ie, 8 mg/kg busulfan and 200 mg/kg cyclophosphamide) was shown neither to promote B-cell and monocyte engraftment nor to affect B-cell function. Eight patients with B cells of host origin had normal B-cell function. Evidence for functional host B cells was further provided in 3 informative cases by Ig allotype determination and by the detection, in 5 studied cases, of host CD27+ memory B cells as in age-matched controls. These results strongly suggest that, in some transplanted patients, host B cells can cooperate with donor T cells to fully mature in Ig-producing cells.

We retrospectively analyzed the development of lymphocytes and of the main immunological functions in 33 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency who survived at least 6 months after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Eighteen patients received HLA-identical BM and 15 received HLA-nonidentical BM. Development of immune functions occurred faster after HLA-identical BMT as full T- and B-lymphocyte- mediated responses were present at day 186 versus 505, respectively (P = .05). In addition, antibody responses remain completely or partially absent in 8 of 15 patients of the second group. Detection of antibody response after HLA-incompatible BMT correlated with engraftment of donor B cells in informative cases. In patients who received an HLA- nonidentical BMT after chemotherapy (6 of 15), development of immune functions occurred more rapidly and 6 of 6 had B-cell functions, including normal antibody production. Autoimmunity was not uncommon and was found after HLA-incompatible BMT (4 of 15) or after HLA-partially phenotypically identical BMT (2 of 3). Antibodies were in most cases specific for blood cells. Occurrence of autoimmunity correlates with poor B-cell functions and to a lesser extent with defective T-cell responses. This type of study may lead to definition of a more accurate strategy for performing BMT in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency.

Abstract We describe our 9-year experience with lectin-treated T-cell-depleted haplocompatible parental bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for 24 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID). Nineteen of 21 evaluable patients had T-cell engraftment; 2 of 11 patients tested had B-cell and monocyte engraftment. Fourteen of 24 (58%) patients are alive 7 months to 9.8 years post-BMT. Seventeen of 24 patients received pretransplant conditioning with chemotherapy and/or total body irradiation, and 8 of 24 received more than one transplant. Patients who received conditioning had a survival rate of 61% versus 57% for those who received no conditioning. None received graft-versus- host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis and no patient had acute or chronic GVHD greater than grade I. Kinetics and follow-up of immune recovery were analyzed in 14 patients who are greater than 1 year from transplant. Half of the patients showed evidence of T-cell function by 3 months and normal T-cell function by 4 to 7 months post-BMT. On average, T-cell numbers and subsets became normal 10 to 12 months posttransplant. Recovery of B-cell function was more delayed, although in most patients B-cell numbers and IgM levels were normal by 12 months post-BMT. B-cell function, as determined by isohemagglutinin titers or specific antibodies to pneumococcal polysaccharide, keyhole limpet hemocyanin, or tetanus toxoid, became normal in 10 of 14 patients 2 to 8 years post-BMT. Seven of the 14 are off gammaglobulin therapy. Production of isohemagglutinins tended to predict recovery of antibody response to pneumococcal polysaccharide (P < .064). Based on these results, we believe that haplocompatible BMT is an effective, curative treatment for patients with SCID who lack an HLA-matched related donor.
