As the reduction of naïve T-cells was one of the most important hallmarks of (S)CID and PID in our cohort, as well as in the large group of PID patients published previously (18), we investigated whether the definition of naïve T-cells in the PIDOT tube (CD45RA+CD27+) corresponds to the SCID-RTE tube definition (CD45ROnegCD62L+HLA-DRneg). The gene discussed is CD27; the disease is pelvic inflammatory disease.
