Evidence of innate lymphoid cell redundancy in humans

Abstract: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have potent immune functions in experimental conditions in mice, but their contribution to immunity in natural conditions in humans remains unclear. We investigated the presence of ILCs in a cohort of patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). All ILC subsets were absent in SCID patients carrying mutations of IL2RG or JAK3. T cell reconstitution was observed in SCID patients upon hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but the patients still exhibited drastic re… Show more

“…Interestingly, the impaired recovery of ILCs after stem cell transplantation was much greater in patients receiving non-myeloablative conditioning therapy. The impaired recovery of ILCs after transplant was not associated with an increased risk of infectious diseases, suggesting that ILCs may not be critical in the presence of T and B cells for the control of infectious pathogens (33). Our findings suggest that ILCs may only be critical in specific uncommon settings, such as assisting in the control of the persistent inflammation in the GI tract during severe aGVHD.…”

“…Redundancy of ILCs was observed in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) who received allogeneic bone marrow transplants. These individuals show successful T and B cell reconstitution, but not ILC reconstitution, yet they do not have increased susceptibility to any particular infections, even after nearly 40 years 89 , suggesting that ILCs are dispensable for protection against infection in humans.…”

“…There are few reports on long-term NK cell reconstitution, and the consequences of inadequate NK cell reconstitution remain incompletely described 26,27 . The current recommendation is to monitor NK cell counts (CD3-/CD56+ &/or CD16+) plus/minus NK cell function after HCT.…”
