This study documents the occurrence of a form of X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in the dog with clinical, immunologic, and pathologic features similar to those of X-linked SCID with B cells in man. The disease in the dog is characterized by growth retardation and increased susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections in young pups. Affected pups have all died or were euthanatized by 5 months with signs of canine distemper, infectious hepatitis, or bacterial pneumonia. Laboratory findings include normal numbers of circulating B lymphocytes and normal concentrations of serum IgM, but low to absent concentrations of serum IgG and IgA, indicating a defect in the terminal differentiation of IgG and IgA B cells into immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells. This is supported by the failure of peripheral lymphocytes to produce IgG or IgA plaque-forming cells in response to polyclonal activation. There are low-to-normal numbers of circulating T cells, but a severely depressed blastogenic response to T cell mitogens. Postmortem findings include thymic dysplasia and hypoplasia of lymphoid tissue. Family studies and breeding experiments are consistent with an X-linked recessive mode of inheritance.
