Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), the most frequent symptomatic immunoglobulin primary immunodeficiency, is associated with chronic T cell activation and reduced frequency of CD4(+) T cells. The underlying cause of immune activation in CVID is unknown. Microbial translocation indicated by elevated serum levels of lipopolysaccharide and soluble CD14 (sCD14) has been linked previously to systemic immune activation in human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV-1/AIDS), alcoholic cirrhosis and other conditions. To address the mechanisms of chronic immune activation in CVID, we performed a detailed analysis of immune cell populations and serum levels of sCD14, soluble CD25 (sCD25), lipopolysaccharide and markers of liver function in 35 patients with CVID, 53 patients with selective immunoglobulin (Ig)A deficiency (IgAD) and 63 control healthy subjects. In CVID subjects, the concentration of serum sCD14 was increased significantly and correlated with the level of sCD25, C-reactive protein and the extent of T cell activation. Importantly, no increase in serum lipopolysaccharide concentration was observed in patients with CVID or IgAD. Collectively, the data presented suggest that chronic T cell activation in CVID is associated with elevated levels of sCD14 and sCD25, but not with systemic endotoxaemia, and suggest involvement of lipopolysaccharide-independent mechanisms of induction of sCD14 production.

164 women with inflammatory diseases of genitals were observed to study lymphocytes' sub/population profile in peripheral blood in the background of persistent viral and bacterial infections depending on reproductive function condition. In patients with non-infringement reproductive function there were not expressed changes of lymphocytes' population profile and activity CD25 lymphocytes increase was marked. In the women with pregnancy losses in anamnesis with a various degree of infringement the picture of differently directed changes of lymphocytes' populations profile was observed. Infertile women had expressed depression of T-cellular link with decrease in the general maintenance of both T-cells and T-helpers; as well as increase of active lymphocytes with expressed apoptosis.
