Immunology and Immunodeficiency Sung-Yun Pai MD Some points • Rest assured, this course (in my biased opinion) prepares you well for boards • The content in this talk only ~5% of the questions • Focuses on IMPORTANT cells of the blood—the LYMPHOCYTES! • Unfortunately the board questions seem to lag behind the content specs so some “old” content specs are included • * in the corner means there are some content specs on that slide • I have tinkered with this lecture in response to previous years’ feedback Objectives Identify the cellular basis of immune compromise in patients undergoing chemotherapy or HSCT, the classes of infections associated with various cellular deficiencies, and general principles of management of infections in immunocompromised hosts Identify the normal pattern of development of the adaptive immune system in children and the presentation and diagnostic features of specific congenital deficiencies of adaptive immunity Content to be reviewed Infections in the immunocompromised host Normal T and B cell development and function and evaluation of recurrent infection Congenital immunodeficiency states made easy (2 slides on AIDS) 2 I N N A T E thymus A D A P T

factors cause immunocompromise? • Loss of physical barriers • Medication • Acquired or congenital defects in cell number • Acquired or congenital defects in cell function 5 Chemotherapy and HSCT cause multiple hits to the immune system • Loss of physical barriers mucosal impairment central venous catheters etc. • Medication corticosteroids (ALL, GVHD) specific immunosuppressants (CsA, others) antibody therapy (ATG, rituximab, alemtuzumab) • Acquired or congenital defects in cell number neutropenia, CD4 lymphopenia • Acquired or congenital defects in cell function 6 Timing of infections post-allogeneic HSCT BACTERIA Pre-engraftment (day 0-30) Post-engraftment (early day 30-100) Post-engraftment (late day >100) Gram + Gram Anaerobes Same Esp catheter associated Encapsulated organisms*

suppressive meds • cGVHD • Poor Ig production 7 Management of infection in immunocompromised hosts Bacterial infection Fungal infection Pneumocystis Viral infection (especially DNA viruses) Note: these are not meant to be the absolute most up to date recommendations and are geared towards what I think are testable principles supported by evidence 8 Bacterial infection * In chemo/HSCT patients bacteria are derived from endogenous flora, in context of mucosal and skin barrier disruption Epidemiology has shifted from GNR to GPC GNR: E. coli, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Serratia, other GPC: Staph aureus, coagulase negative Staph, alpha-hemolytic strep (S. mitis, S. sanguis), Enterococcus anaerobes: Bacteroides, Clostridium Association of Ara-C and alpha-hemolytic strep with ARDS and rapidly evolving sepsis syndrome Keep in mind resistant organisms and local pattern methicillin-resistant S. aureus, vancomycin-resistant enterococcus inducible plasmids encoding extended spectrum beta lactamases causing resistance after exposure to cephalosporins in Enterobacter and other GNR 9 * Bacterial infection Prophylaxis: Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses demonstrate decrease in infection and possibly improved survival with prophylactic antibiotics in neutropenic cancer patients Benefits of use must be weighed against risk of developing resistance Principles of empiric therapy: Fever and neutropenia in setting of chemotherapy is an emergency Instituting immediate therapy without awaiting culture results is standard Physical examination to identify localizing source must be performed but rarely identifies cause Regimen should cover enteric GNR, S. aureus, other gram positives monotherapy is the standard recommendation (3rd gen cephalosporin, carbapenem, piperacillin/tazobactam) Additional agents (aminoglycoside, quinolone, more GPC coverage) upfront or delayed depending on clinical circumstances Stopping antibiotics after 7 days in persistently neutropenic patients leads to about 40% of patients developing fever or hypotension 10 * Random interlude about the spleen o Several immunological functions of the spleen o Site of filtration and innate immunity o Opsonization of encapsulated organisms o Consumption by macrophages o Site of primary and secondary adaptive immune responses o T cells get primed by APC o T cells interact with B cells, which make specific IgM o Activated follicular B cells mature, class switch, undergo affinity maturation o Site of specialized B cell population o Marginal zone B cells that respond to polysaccharide antigens and are generated by 2 years of age 11 Anatomic/functional asplenia * Prophylaxis: oral penicillin twice a day for <5 years old Lifelong for anyone who has had post-splenectomy sepsis Consider for >5 years old for first 1-2 years after splenectomy Principles of empiric therapy: Give antibiotics within 2 hours, at home if >2h from hospital For hospital: parenteral 3rd or greater generation cephalosporin For home: amoxicillin 45 mg/kg (max 2g) or levofloxacin 10 mg/kg (max 750 mg) Principles of vaccination: Special schedules for pneumococcus, HiB, meningococcus ACIP recommendations for immunocompromised (functional or anatomic asplenia, including sickle cell disease, HIV+, CSF leak, cochlear implant) 2012 Catch up everyone with PCV13 if PCV13 naïve Catch up everyone with PPSV23 if PPSV23 naïve If naïve to both, give PCV13 then 8 weeks later PPSV23 2nd dose of PPSV23 after 5 years If PPSV23 in past, but naïve to PCV13, give PCV13 >8 weeks from last PPSV23 12 * Fungal infection Two major populations at risk, with propensity for different fungi • profound and long neutropenia (Candida, Aspergillus, others) • defective cellular immunity (Cryptococcus, Histoplasma, Coccidiodes) Other rarer fungi include: • Fusarium, Mucor, Trichosporon, dematiaceous molds Unlike bacterial infection, these are not endogenous but patients become colonized due to exposure and modulation of normal flora 13 * Fungal infection Prophylaxis: Large trials have shown decrease in fungal infections in adults during leukemia induction or undergoing HSCT Current IDSA recommendations are to use an azole (fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole) or echinocandin (micafungin, caspofungin) for prevention of Candidiasis during induction or HSCT (neutropenia >7 days) Patients with CGD benefit from prophylactic treatment Principles of empiric therapy: Empiric anti-fungal therapy is standard for persistent fever and neutropenia (4 to 7 days) Other possible signs of fungal disease include: nasal or sinus tenderness, painful swallowing, pulmonary infiltrates Therapy should be directed against Candida and Aspergillus, and no one agent is specifically recommended. Choice of empiric agent should take into account prophylactic regimen, known colonization, individual patient profile and local epidemiology 14 * Pneumocystis jirovecii (formerly called Pneumocystis carinii) risk factors for Pneumocystis pneumonia include: HIV infection with CD4 count <200 HSCT recipients cancer especially leukemia solid organ transplant recipients glucocorticoids, chemo or other immunosuppressants primary immunodeficiency especially SCID (renamed because P. jirovecii infects humans while P. carinii infects other mammals, like rodents) 15 * Pneumocystis jirovecii Prophylaxis: Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 150 mg TMP/m2/day (5 mg/kg/day) divided BID TIW consecutive days most tested Alternatives to TMP/SMX: atovaquone, dapsone, aerosolized pentamidine, intravenous pentamidine, clindamycin plus primaquine, sulfadoxine plus pyrimethamine few if any studies in non-HIV patients comparing efficacy Treatment: Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 15-20 mg/kg/day divided TID-QID, PO or IV for 14-21 days adjunctive corticosteroids shown to be effective in HIV, less certain in non-HIV Alternatives to TMP/SMX: mild disease: atovaquone, severe disease: pentamidine IV, clindamycin plus primaquine 16 * Viral infection Patients with poor cell mediated immunity are at high risk for infection due to DNA viruses • post-BMT • solid organ transplant • HIV • primary immunodeficiency CMV, HSV, VZV, EBV can all cause disease from primary exposure, or from reactivation of latent infection 17 * Viral infection Cytomegalovirus Herpes family DNA virus that causes asymptomatic or self-limited flu/mononucleosis illness in competent host Can be passed through organs, blood, breastmilk, saliva, urine Disease manifests as viremia, interstitial pneumonitis, colitis, retinitis, hepatitis, esophagitis/gastritis Asymptomatic shedding in urine and saliva can occur Organ disease and viremia/blood antigenemia are not always correlated Prophylaxis using only blood products from CMV negative donors OR leukofiltration in BMT setting, treatment with ganciclovir prevents interstitial pneumonia Treatment ganciclovir 5 mg/kg/dose IV twice a day for 2 weeks valganciclovir orally, dosing is not well established in children foscarnet 180 mg/kg/day divided twice or three times a day for 2 weeks cidofovir does have activity against CMV 18 * Viral infection Varicella zoster (Herpes zoster) Herpes family DNA virus that causes primary varicella and shingles Primary or reactivation disease can be severe in immunocompromised patients, causing hepatitis, pneumonitis, encephalitis Prophylaxis universal vaccination began in US in 1995 acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir can all be used to prevent VZV reactivation in the absence of Varicella specific Ig (VZIG), pooled IVIg can be used to prevent disease after exposure in non-immune children up to 96h post Treatment high dose acyclovir, 1500 mg/m2/day IV divided every 8 hours, adjust for renal insufficiency and hydrate oral acyclovir or other anti-virals 19 Content to be reviewed Infections in the immunocompromised host Normal T and B cell development and function and evaluation of recurrent infection Congenital immunodeficiency states made easy (2 slides on AIDS) 20 Lymphocytes contribute to both innate and adaptive immune systems CD16/56 NK cell thymus * INNATE CD4 helper T cell CD8 cytolytic (killer) T cell CD19 B cell ADAPTIVE 21 Major arms of the adaptive immune system * Cellular immunity T cells (most are a/b T cells) Humoral immunity Express TCR with CD3 complex (TCRa, TCRb, CD3zz, CD3ed, CD3eg) B cells -CD4 T cells Produce antibody see antigens complexed to MHC class II on APC helper function cooperate with B cells to induce class switching control opportunistic infection cancer surveillance regulatory functions IgM and IgD first IgG, IgA, IgE only after class switching additional mutations in Ig locus occur—B cells carrying receptors with higher affinity are selected (affinity maturation) -CD8 T cells see antigen complexed to MHC class I on APC cytolytic function kill virally infected cells control opportunistic infection cancer surveillance Antibodies opsonize bacteria particularly important for •respiratory pathogens •skin flora •encapsulated organisms 22 * What holes are generated in the immune system when lymphocytes are absent or do not function?

Normal proliferation rules out classic SCID. Total IgG, IgA, IgM and specific Ab if vaccinated Molecular defect can be narrowed down based on lymphocyte phenotype: T-B+ (can be NK - or +) T-B- (can be NK - or +) 44 * T- B+ SCID Molecular defects: cytokine common gamma chain (IL2RG, gc, CD132) JAK3 (JAK3, Janus kinase 3) IL-7 receptor alpha chain (IL7R, IL-7Ra, CD127) B cells are present but receive no help, generally do not produce antibody gc has X-linked inheritance, accounts for about 1/3 of all SCID JAK3 and IL-7Ra are autosomal recessive 45 * Lack of growth factor signaling leads to absence of T cells gc IL-7Ra gc 46 Normal adaptive immune system development Blood Bone marrow Thymus TCR TCR rearrangement HSC CD3 HSC T T PreT ProB TCR T BCR (Ig) rearrangement PreB CD4 preBCR CD3 proliferation CD8 T BCR signaling IgM Spleen IgM CD19 immB B 47 IgD Lack of cytokine signaling causes loss of T cells Blood Bone marrow Thymus TCR rearrangement HSC HSC ProB BCR (Ig) rearrangement PreB preBCR X proliferation BCR signaling IgM Spleen IgM CD19 immB B 48 IgD * T- B- SCID Molecular defects: Adenosine deaminase (ADA) Recombinase activating gene 1, gene 2 (RAG1, RAG2) Artemis (DCLRE1C, DNA crosslink repair 1C), other DNA repair enzymes All autosomal recessive inheritance RAG1/2, Artemis have NK+ phenotype ADA deficiency generally causes NK- phenotype 49 * TCR/BCR RAG Artemis Lack of rearrangement machinery leads to absence of both T and B cells 50 Lack of rearrangement machinery leads to absence of both T and B cells Blood Bone marrow Thymus X TCR rearrangement HSC HSC ProB X BCR (Ig) rearrangement proliferation Spleen 51 * Accumulation of toxic metabolites leads to absence of all lymphocytes, T, B, NK dAdenosine ADA dATP dInosine PNP Hypoxanthine Xanthine Uric acid 52 gc TCR/BCR RAG Artemis gc dAdenosine ADA dATP dInosine PNP Hypoxanthine Xanthine Uric acid 53 Diagnosis and management of SCID supportive management protection from infection IgG replacement aggressive diagnosis and prompt treatment of infection prophylaxis against Pneumocystis ALL BLOOD PRODUCTS MUST BE IRRADIATED to avoid fatal transfusion-associated GVHD Consider enzyme replacement with PEG-ADA for ADA deficient patients Immediate referral for curative treatment i.e. HSCT* * except complete DiGeorge, which is often treated with thymic transplant 54 * SCID and HSCT for boards purposes * • a variety of donors and conditioning approaches can be used to cure SCID with HSCT donor conditioning? T cell depletion? *matched sibling no no haploidentical parent no YES unrelated YES to prevent lethal GVHD either 55 Take home points about SCID definition of SCID is lack of FUNCTIONAL AUTOLOGOUS T cells an ALC of <2000 in an infant is very abnormal maternal engraftment is common i.e. presence of T cells does NOT rule out SCID maternal T cells will not proliferate B cells even if present do not function i.e. SCID is in differential of very low IgG inheritance may be X-linked or AR lack of all lymphocytes (T, B, NK) should make you think of ADA 56 * Congenital Immunodeficiency Failure of T cell development SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) Failure of B cell development XLA (X-linked agammaglobulinemia) Functional T, B, or combined defects T and B cells present but not fully functional Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) X-linked Hyper-IgM syndrome (CD40LG) X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) 57 * * X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) X-linked disorder of B cell development due to mutation of the BTK (Bruton’s tyrosine kinase) gene which signals downstream of the pre-B cell receptor B cell development is arrested in the bone marrow at the pre-B cell stage resulting in complete absence of peripheral B cells IgG levels fall after maternal IgG naturally declines, pyogenic infections with bacteria occur starting 6-9 months prone to chronic enteroviral meningoencephalitis avoid live virus vaccines 58 Normal adaptive immune system development Blood Bone marrow Thymus TCR

agammaglobulinemia (XLA) laboratory shows absence of CD19 cells on lymphocyte subsets, low to absent IgA, low to absent IgM, low to absent IgG depending on age (placental transfer) T cell immunity (T cell numbers, skin reaction, proliferation to mitogens, control of opportunistic infections) is intact mainstay of treatment is IgG replacement with dramatic decrease in incidence of infections 61 Congenital Immunodeficiency Failure of T cell development SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) Failure of B cell development XLA (X-linked agammaglobulinemia) Functional T, B, or combined defects T and B cells present but not fully functional Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) X-linked Hyper-IgM syndrome (CD40LG) X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) 62 * * Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) X-linked disorder due to mutation of the WAS protein (WAS, WASP) gene classic triad of immunodeficiency, eczema and thrombocytopenia with small platelets (ex: MPV 4-5 compared to normal about 7-8 fl) not all patients especially when young manifest all parts of the triad, in particular, immune defect tends to worsen with time most boys die by young adulthood from bleeding, infection, autoimmunity or lymphoma 63 Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) immune defect is combined T and B typically normal to low T and normal B cell numbers T cells can be functionally abnormal abnormal proliferation to mitogen abnormal proliferation to antigen B cell function more often abnormal than T poor specific antibody production classically lacks carbohydrate responses i.e. isohemagglutinins, pneumovax Total IgG declines over time Allergic manifestations including high IgE also seen 64 * * Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) not all WASP mutations lead to WAS complete lack of WAS protein usually leads to WAS missense mutations with detectable protein may lead to X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT) small low platelets no or mild eczema normal immune function some patients may develop autoimmunity missense activating mutations in GTPase binding domain X-linked neutropenia (XLN) normal platelets, lymphocytes, no eczema severe neutropenia, with variable other findings (myelodysplasia, large platelets, reversal of CD4/CD8 ratio) 65 Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) diagnosis in the old days made by non-random X-linked inactivation in appropriate clinical setting, now WAS protein levels and gene sequencing splenectomy can correct thrombocytopenia for years late manifestations include immune thrombocytopenia (may occur even after splenectomy), autoimmune arthritis, vasculitis, lymphoma supportive therapy includes Ig replacement, platelet transfusion, management of immune complications, treatment of infections curable by early well-matched HSCT 66 * Activated CD4+ T cell Hyper-IgM syndromes Proliferation Cytokines Activation of DC share in common defects in switching from IgM to other isotypes process is dependent on CD40L on T cells (expressed on activated CD4+ T cells) interacting with CD40 on B cells (leads to class switching) most common form is an X-linked disorder due to defect in CD40 ligand (CD40LG, CD40L, CD154) gene hence boys have combined B and T cell defect with primary manifestation of hypogammaglobulinemia, low IgG, low IgA and normal or high IgM CD40L CD40 Maturation Class switching Somatic hypermutation Naïve IgM+ B cell 67 * Hyper-IgM syndromes (X-linked, CD40LG deficiency) infectious profile of recurrent bacterial infections (low IgG), opportunistic infections such as PCP, cryptosporidium, histoplasma (poor CD4 cell function) lab tests show normal T and B cell numbers, low IgG, low IgA, normal to high IgM, low CD40L expression after stimulation of T cells in vitro, no production of specific IgG after vaccination curable by HSCT 68 * * X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) X-linked disorder due to mutations in the SAP gene (SLAM associated protein, SH2D1A), an adaptor protein that associates with the SLAM family of receptors on T, B, NK and other cells pleomorphic presentation with certain clinical scenarios being “classic” fulminant often fatal acute mononucleosis due to EBV lymphoproliferation usually nonclonal recurrent infections with dysgammaglobulinemia or hypogammaglobulinemia typically have normal T and B cell numbers, normal proliferation, may have high IgA or IgM and low IgG, defective B cell memory generation 69 * X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) diagnosis requires high index of suspicion, sometimes due to careful review of family history with X-linked pattern of illness detection of SAP protein by intracellular FACS or sequencing of SH2D1A gene can make the diagnosis fulminant EBV infection has an extremely poor outcome patients who develop hypogammaglobulinemia should be replaced HSCT may be considered in selected patients 70 * Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) heterogeneous group of disorders with largely unknown molecular defects, typical onset in adults 20-40 years clinical definition is “a genetic immune defect characterized by significantly decreased levels of IgG, IgA and/or IgM with poor or absent antibody production, with exclusion of genetic or other causes of hypogammaglobulinemia” unlike XLA, B cells detectable and patients often have defects in T cell number or function, predisposing to autoimmunity, granulomatous disease (lungs, intestine), and lymphoma 71 Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) Like other antibody deficiencies, sinopulmonary infections, chronic enteroviral meningoencephalitis are common Autoimmune disease especially ITP/AIHA is prominent* ITP Evans AIHA RA 34% 12% 10% 7% anti-IgA 5% SLE 4% alopecia, DM, IBD, 3% each pernicious anemia, myasthenia gravis, autoimmune neutropenia, primary biliary cirrhosis, immune urticaria treatment is IgG replacement and supportive treatment of infectious and autoimmune complications * Cunningham-Rundles. Autoimmunity in primary immune deficiency: taking lessons from our patients. Clin Exp Immunol (2011) vol. 164 Suppl 2 pp. 6-11. 72 * Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) Lymphoproliferative disease caused by defects in pathways controlling apoptosis of lymphocytes Molecular defects increasingly understood, with majority due to germline heterozygous defects in FAS or somatic heterozygous defects in FAS (rarer: FASLG, CASP10, CASP8, NRAS) Chronic nonmalignant noninfectious lymphadenopathy and/or splenomegaly and elevated CD3+ CD4- CD8- TCRab cells (DN T cells) in blood (and also typically in LN biopsy) Autoimmune cytopenia very common and may be presenting symptom 73 * Take home points about non-SCID immunodeficiencies * • Boys with XLA lack B cells but have normal T cell function • WAS is a triad of small low platelets, eczema, combined T and B cell dysfunction • Boys with WAS are at risk for bleeding, infection, lymphoma, autoimmunity (i.e. these things can be elicited on family history) • A boy that is super sick with EBV--think XLP • Patients with antibody deficiencies (i.e. CVID) and ALPS frequently have autoimmune cytopenias 74 Explanation of the Tables that follow o These have been abstracted from the publication by International Union of Immunological Societies that is updated every several years o Diseases in bold not already covered in the previous slides o are in other sections’ content specifications (see arrow) o were in previous content specifications (board questions still might occur, see arrow) o are disorders I could see coming up o Diseases not in bold are generally rarer and are not in content specifications, but o you could potentially see in clinical practice or o they are just too cool and interesting for me to skip Modified from Al-Herz W et al.
