If the thymus of an adult experimental animal is removed, the following observations can be made: (a) No immediate effect occurs, and (b) after 1 year, decreases occur in the number of lymphocytes in the blood, the ability to reject grafts, and the ability to produce antibodies. Explain these observations.
A white cell differential was performed for an adult female, with the following percentages of cells counted:Neutrophils = 25%, Lymphocytes = 69%, Monocytes = 5%, Eosinophils = 1%, Basophils = <1%Given that the total white cell count for this individual is 8.1x109/L, calculate the absolute number of lymphocytes per litre of blood. Discuss possible causes for any of the white cell differential counts which do not fall within the expected reference ranges.
(56) A 1 year old boy dies of staphylococcal pneumonia. He has had multiple skin infections since birth. Separation of the umbilical cord was delayed. A skin window test was performed and no leukocyte accumulated on the cover ship. The cytometric analysis showed that only 5% of the T lymphocytes reacted with a monoclonal antibody to leukocyte functional antigen-1 chain (CD 18) compared with reactivity of 62 % for a normal subject. Just prior to death, his leukocyte count was 75,000/mm3. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
(A) AIDS
(B) Cogenital Asplenia
(C)Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
(D) Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease
(E) X linked agammaglobulinemia
