Efficacy of Gene Therapy for X-Linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency

TL;DR: After nearly 10 years of follow-up, gene therapy was shown to have corrected the immunodeficiency associated with SCID-X1 and may be an option for patients who do not have an HLA-identical donor for hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation and for whom the risks are deemed acceptable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of age on the response to Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine in patients with recurrent infections and normal immunoglobulin concentrations.

TL;DR: The definition of what constitutes an adequate response to pneumococcal immunization needs further definition, and it is clear that age has an important influence on the intensity of the response to most pneumococal polysaccharides.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results show that a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is capable of inducing an IgG response in patients with recurrent infections who had failed to mount an adequate response to the polysaccharide vaccine.
