title: Abnormal B cell response of protein kinase C in some common variable immunodeficiency.
abstract: The localization of protein kinase C (PKC) was investigated in B cells or B cell lines derived from patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVI) and healthy controls. Stimulation of the healthy control B cells by phorbol ester or anti-mu induced PKC activation and translocation to the plasma membrane after 10 min. In contrast, in the CVI-B cells, no apparent PKC translocation was induced by either phorbol ester or anti-mu stimulation. These results suggest that the pathogenesis in some CVI patients might involve defects in the pathway of PKC activation.
