Abstract
Abolhassani et al. show that CD70 deficiency is a novel cause of combined immunodeficiency and EBV-associated diseases, reminiscent of CD27 deficiency. CD70–CD27 interactions play a nonredundant role regulating humoral- and cell-mediated immunity in humans, especially for control of EBV.

Three patients presented with EBV-associated Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hypogammaglobulinemia; one also had severe varicella infection. The fourth had viral encephalitis during infancy. Homozygous frameshift or in-frame deletions in <italic>CD70</italic> in these patients abolished either CD70 surface expression or binding to its cognate receptor CD27. Blood lymphocyte numbers were normal, but the proportions of memory B cells and EBV-specific effector memory CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells were reduced. Furthermore, although T cell proliferation was normal, in vitro–generated EBV-specific cytotoxic T cell activity was reduced because of CD70 deficiency. This reflected impaired activation by, rather than effects during killing of, EBV-transformed B cells. Notably, expression of 2B4 and NKG2D, receptors implicated in controlling EBV infection, on memory CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells from CD70-deficient individuals was reduced, consistent with their impaired killing of EBV-infected cells. Thus, autosomal recessive CD70 deficiency is a novel cause of combined immunodeficiency and EBV-associated diseases, reminiscent of inherited CD27 deficiency. Overall, human CD70–CD27 interactions therefore play a nonredundant role in T and B cell–mediated immunity, especially for protection against EBV and humoral immunity.</p></abstract><funding-group specific-use="FundRef"><award-group id="sp1"><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution>Swedish Research Council</institution><institution-id institution-id-type="DOI">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100004359</institution-id></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><funding-group specific-use="FundRef"><award-group id="sp2"><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution>Swedish Cancer Society</institution><institution-id institution-id-type="DOI">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100002794</institution-id></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><funding-group specific-use="FundRef"><award-group id="sp3"><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution>Cancer Council NSW</institution><institution-id institution-id-type="DOI">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100001102</institution-id></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id rid="sp3">RG16-11</award-id></award-group></funding-group><funding-group specific-use="FundRef"><award-group id="sp4"><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution>National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases</institution><institution-id institution-id-type="DOI">https://doi.org/10.13039/100000060</institution-id></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><funding-group specific-use="FundRef"><award-group id="sp5"><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution>National Institutes of Health</institution><institution-id institution-id-type="DOI">https://doi.org/10.13039/100000002</institution-id></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group><funding-group specific-use="FundRef"><award-group id="sp6"><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution>National Health and Medical Research Council</institution><institution-id institution-id-type="DOI">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100000925</institution-id></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id rid="sp6">1042925</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="introduction" id="s01"><title>Introduction</title><p>Nearly 300 types of inborn errors of immunity, mainly caused by mutations in single genes, have been recognized to date (<xref rid="bib40" ref-type="bibr">Picard et al., 2015</xref>). These primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) predispose affected individuals to infections, autoinflammation, autoimmunity, allergy, and malignancy. The severity of PIDs ranges from life-threatening manifestations in early childhood to milder defects with later onset. Prototypic PIDs are typically monogenic but do not necessarily display complete clinical penetrance, as genetically affected relatives of index cases may be asymptomatic. In addition, several phenotypes can be allelic at the same locus, allowing the clinical presentation of any given inborn error to vary greatly between individuals. Although the first-described PIDs were associated with multiple, recurrent, opportunistic infections, not all PIDs are characterized by severe infectious diseases. Among those associated with severe infections, susceptibility can be global (i.e., to a wide variety of pathogens) or restricted to a small number of microorganisms, sometimes even a single pathogen, for instance EBV (<xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">Casanova, 2015a</xref>,<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">b</xref>).</p><p>Primary infection with EBV, one of eight known human herpes viruses, typically occurs in childhood and is usually asymptomatic but can cause self-limiting infectious mononucleosis during adolescence or adulthood (<xref rid="bib49" ref-type="bibr">Taylor et al., 2015</xref>). Severe EBV-associated diseases are seen in patients with three nonmutually exclusive groups of PIDs: those with broad defects in T cell immunity, familial forms of lymphohistiocytosis, and disorders of DNA repair (<xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">Faitelson and Grunebaum, 2014</xref>; <xref rid="bib38" ref-type="bibr">Palendira and Rickinson, 2015</xref>; <xref rid="bib49" ref-type="bibr">Taylor et al., 2015</xref>). In most of these conditions, EBV is only one of many microbial threats. However, selective susceptibility to EBV-induced diseases is the main characteristic of patients suffering from X-linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) syndrome caused by mutations in <italic>SH2D1A</italic> (<xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">Tangye, 2014</xref>) or <italic>BIRC4</italic> (<xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">Aguilar and Latour, 2015</xref>). Affected males develop hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, hypogammaglobulinemia, and/or lymphoid malignancy. Patients with mutations in <italic>ITK</italic>, <italic>MAGT1</italic>, <italic>CORO1A</italic>, <italic>FCGR3A</italic>, or <italic>CD27</italic> are also vulnerable to EBV and occasionally other herpes viruses (<xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Cohen, 2015</xref>; <xref rid="bib49" ref-type="bibr">Taylor et al., 2015</xref>).</p><p>CD27, a TNF receptor superfamily member, is expressed on human naive and some memory T cells, germinal center and memory B cells, plasma cells, and a subset of NK cells (<xref rid="bib48" ref-type="bibr">Tangye et al., 1998</xref>; <xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Jung et al., 2000</xref>; <xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Borst et al., 2005</xref>; <xref rid="bib46" ref-type="bibr">Silva et al., 2008</xref>; <xref rid="bib53" ref-type="bibr">Vossen et al., 2008</xref>).

Studies of mouse and human immune cells have implicated CD70–CD27 interaction in T cell expansion and survival, germinal center formation, B cell activation and antibody production, and NK cell function (<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">Hintzen et al., 1995</xref>; <xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">Jacquot et al., 1997</xref>; <xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">Agematsu et al., 1998</xref>; <xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Borst et al., 2005</xref>; <xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Nolte et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">De Colvenaer et al., 2011</xref>).

At 5 yr of age, she had severe chickenpox infection with varicella pneumonia. At age 8, she suffered from Behçet’s-like syndrome, with nonerosive oligoarthritis, oral aphthous ulcers, and posterior uveitis. At age 9, she had recurrent upper respiratory tract infections, hypogammaglobulinemia, and poor antibody responses to tetanus and diphtheria vaccinations but normal T and B cell numbers (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl1">Table 1</xref> and Fig. S1). Intravenous IgG (IVIG) replacement and prophylactic treatment with antibiotics reduced the frequency and severity of infections. She subsequently developed finger clubbing, mild restrictive and obstructive pulmonary function, alopecia areata, peptic ulcer and gastritis, splenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy. At age 17, a gastric biopsy from an ulcerated lesion revealed mixed cellularity–type Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) with strong expression of EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1). She achieved clinical remission after four cycles of chemotherapy. P1 has three healthy siblings; however, a fourth sibling (P2, IV.3; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1 A</xref>) had encephalitis during infancy caused by an undefined central nervous system viral infection. Normal lymphocyte counts (Fig. S1) and serum Ig levels but low postvaccination antibody titers against tetanus and diphtheria were observed (Table S1). Anti-EBV, CMV, HSV-1, and varicella-zoster IgG were present at high titers in P1 and P2 (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl1">Table 1</xref> and Table S1), but neither EBV nor CMV were detected in plasma by PCR, suggesting disease remission. At the most recent follow up, P1 (age 29) was clinically stable on monthly IVIG and prophylactic antimicrobial therapy; P2 (age 33) was intellectually disabled but did not present with other clinical manifestations. The parents have no signs of immunodeficiency, but the father developed prostate cancer at the age of 53, and the mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer and astrocytoma at 53 and 60 yr of age, respectively (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1 A</xref>). The mother also had two unexplained miscarriages. Both maternal and paternal grandparents died from malignancies (II.1-II.4; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1 A</xref>).</p><table-wrap id="tbl1" orientation="portrait"

At 2.5 yr of age, he developed diffuse cervical lymphadenopathy. Excisional biopsy revealed mixed cellularity–type HL that was positive for EBV-latent membrane protein 1. EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA) IgG was positive, and EBV DNA was detected in the blood. Ig levels were reduced, but specific antibody responses were present (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl1">Table 1</xref>). Peripheral lymphocyte immunophenotyping was normal except for a transient CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell lymphopenia (Fig. S1). Although remission was achieved with six cycles of chemotherapy, relapse of HL occurred in the same region. Additional chemo/radiotherapy resulted in complete remission. As Ig levels remained low, IVIG and antimicrobial prophylaxis were started. After 9 yr of an uneventful clinical course, he had elevated EBV PCR copy numbers, which were responsive to rituximab treatment. He currently remains in complete remission at age 16. P3 has a brother (P4; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1 B</xref>) who was almost 3 yr old when he developed chronic cervical lymphadenopathy with an EBV-associated mixed cellular HL. Serum EBV VCA IgG was positive, and EBV was also detected by PCR in his cerebrospinal fluid. He showed normal lymphocyte immunophenotyping but a history of recurrent upper respiratory tract infections and hypogammaglobulinemia (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl1">Table 1</xref> and Fig. S1), for which IVIG and antimicrobial prophylaxis were given. Although he entered remission after six cycles of chemotherapy, HL relapsed 2 yr later. Chemotherapy was followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Although he had an episode of posttransplant EBV flare up, he currently remains in complete remission (at age 8). The parents have no immunodeficiency, but the mother had breast cancer at the age of 35.</p></sec><sec id="s04"><title>Homozygous frameshift or in-frame deletions in CD70 in the four affected individuals</title><p>In family 1, whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed for the index patient P1. As she was born to consanguineous parents, an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance was expected; nonsynonymous rare variations (minor allele frequency <1%) in a homozygous status were thus prioritized. Mutations in known PID genes (<xref rid="bib40" ref-type="bibr">Picard et al., 2015</xref>) were not observed. However, a novel homozygous 1-bp deletion in exon 3 of <italic>CD70</italic> (c.250delT), predicted to change the reading frame at amino acid 84 and create a premature stop codon 27 amino acids downstream of the mutation (p.S84Pfs27X), was detected. WES was also performed for P2, and the <italic>CD70</italic> mutation was the only candidate among the shared homozygous variants that could explain the immunodeficiency observed in both siblings. Sanger sequencing confirmed that the two siblings were homozygous and the parents and healthy siblings were heterozygous for this mutation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1 C</xref>). This mutation was not found in the 1000 Genomes, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute exome sequencing project, and Exome Aggregation Consortium databases or in 251 Iranian blood donors and our recent study of the Middle Eastern Variome (<xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">Scott et al., 2016</xref>).

This residue is predicted to contribute to a β-strand conserved among the TNF superfamily to which CD70 belongs (<xref rid="bib21" ref-type="bibr">Goodwin et al., 1993</xref>; <xref rid="bib50" ref-type="bibr">Tesselaar et al., 1997</xref>). To test the effect of this mutation on the structure and function of CD70, we first assessed CD70 expression. Using a mAb against the extracellular C-terminal portion of CD70, we could detect expression on activated CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells from healthy controls and heterozygous parents, but this mAb did not readily detect expression from P3 and P4 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Fig. 2, C and D</xref>; and not depicted). In contrast, the same patients’ cells showed normal levels of CD70 proteins by Western blotting using a polyclonal antibody encompassing and extending upstream from the C terminus (Ab3; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Fig. 1 E</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Fig. 2 E</xref>). Next, we tested whether the mutation altered the structure of CD70 sufficiently to impair receptor–ligand interactions. Besides altered epitope binding by Abs, we found no binding of soluble recombinant CD27-Fc to HEK293T cells overexpressing mutant versus WT CD70 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Fig. 2 F</xref>). This signal was specific for CD27 as shown by lack of binding to anti-CD5 in WT CD70-transfected cells. The mutant CD70 was expressed to near-equal levels as WT CD70 on transfected cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Fig. 2, G and H</xref>; and not depicted). Together, these data indicate that the mutant CD70 identified in P3 and P4, though expressed, is a loss-of-function variant because of impaired binding to its natural receptor CD27.</p></sec><sec id="s06"><title>Reduced memory B and T cells in CD70-deficient individuals</title><p>Although frequencies of B cells and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells were largely normal in CD70-deficient patients, there were mild reductions in proportions of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl2">Table 2</xref>).

Expression of activation and differentiation molecules such as CD27, CD57, CD95, and KLRG1 on memory CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, as well as proportions of regulatory T cells and circulating T follicular helper cells, were comparable between patients and controls (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl2">Table 2</xref> and not depicted). In contrast, relative expression levels of 2B4 (CD244) or NKG2D, two activating receptors implicated in CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell–mediated control of EBV-infected B cells (<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">Hislop et al., 2010</xref>; <xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Palendira et al., 2011</xref>; <xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">Chaigne-Delalande et al., 2013</xref>), were reduced or absent, respectively, on central memory T (T<sub>CM</sub>; CCR7<sup>+</sup>CD45RA<sup>−</sup>), effector memory T (T<sub>EM</sub>; CCR7<sup>−</sup>CD45RA<sup>−</sup>), and terminally differentiated effector memory T (T<sub>EMRA</sub>; CCR7<sup>−</sup>CD45RA<sup>+</sup>) cell subsets of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells from all CD70-deficient patients compared with healthy controls (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Fig. 3, A and B</xref>). Partial defects in 2B4 and NKG2D expression were also observed for heterozygous carriers (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Fig. 3, A and B</xref>). Proportions of NK cells and NK subsets in the CD70-deficient patients were variable but largely comparable with healthy controls (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tbl2">Table 2</xref>). Thus, although global lymphocyte differentiation in vivo was relatively unaffected by the absence of functional CD70, the maintenance or persistence of memory T and B cells and acquisition of 2B4 and

PBMCs from P1 and P2 (family 1; both HLA-A*24<sup>+</sup>) and HLA-matched and -mismatched controls were stained ex vivo with HLA-A*2402–RYSIFFDY tetramers (EBNA3A, residues 246–253). Comparable frequencies of EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells were identified in CD70-deficient individuals, heterozygous family members, and healthy HLA-matched controls (0.2–0.5% of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Fig. 3 C</xref>). The proportions of EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells detected in P3 and P4 (family 2; both HLA-A*11<sup>+</sup>) using an HLA-A*1101–AVFDRKSDAK tetramer (EBNA3B, residues 399–408) approximated those in HLA-mismatched controls (∼0.2% vs. 0.5–1.0% of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in healthy HLA-matched controls and heterozygous family members), suggesting a negligible EBV-specific response in these individuals (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Fig. 3 C</xref>). Next, we determined the differentiation status of EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in family 1. As previously described (<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Callan et al., 1998</xref>; <xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">Hislop et al., 2002</xref>), most EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in healthy donors are T<sub>EM</sub> cells, with the remainder corresponding to T<sub>CM</sub> and T<sub>EMRA</sub> subsets. Intriguingly, most EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in CD70-deficient individuals exhibited a naive (CCR7<sup>+</sup>CD45RA<sup>+</sup>) or T<sub>CM</sub> cell–like phenotype. Although EBV-specific T<sub>EM</sub> cells were detected in these patients, they persisted at lower frequencies than controls (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Fig. 3 D</xref>). Similar to total memory CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, CD27, CD57, KLRG1, CD95, and PD-1 were expressed to comparable levels on EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells from CD70-deficient individuals and controls. Importantly, proportions of EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells expressing 2B4 or NKG2D were reduced in the CD70-deficient individuals (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Fig. 3 E</xref>). Moreover, coexpression patterns differed among CD70-deficient individuals, heterozygous relatives, and controls. Most T cells in P1 did not coexpress any of these markers, whereas T cells from P2 predominantly expressed PD-1 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Fig. 3, F and G</xref>). Overall, these results suggested that though there is no indication of T cell exhaustion in CD70 deficiency, the phenotype and function of EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells is nonetheless altered, with reduced frequencies of T<sub>EM</sub> cells and reduced expression of 2B4 and NKG2D.</p></sec><sec id="s08"><title>CD70 deficiency impairs cytotoxicity of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells against EBV–B cell targets</title><p>Next, we addressed the consequences of CD70 deficiency on lymphocyte function. Proliferation of CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells induced by in vitro stimulation of PBMCs with PHA/IL-2, PMA/ionomycin, or immobilized mAbs specific for CD2, CD3, and CD28 was unaffected by CD70 deficiency (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Fig. 4 A</xref>). Lysis of K562 or 721.211 target cells by IL-2–stimulated NK cells from CD70-deficient patients was normal (P1 and P2) or only modestly reduced (P3 and P4) compared with those from healthy controls (not depicted). Thus, CD70 deficiency has minimal if any effect on the development, differentiation, and function of human NK cells. However, EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells from CD70-deficient patients, expanded by co-culturing with irradiated autologous EBV-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), exhibited defective cytotoxic activity against EBV-LCL (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Fig. 4 B</xref>). To determine at which stage of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell activation and differentiation the CD27–CD70 interaction was critical, we tested the effect of CD70 blockade on responses of T cells or clones from healthy donors to autologous EBV-LCL. Up-regulation of CD25 expression on CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells by co-culture with EBV-LCL was reduced in the presence of a blocking anti-CD70 mAb (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Fig. 4 C</xref>). Although the proportion of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells induced to express NKG2D was not affected by CD70 blockade, its level of expression was significantly reduced (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Fig. 4 C</xref>). Consistent with these findings, up-regulation of CD25 on T cells from CD70-deficient patients was impaired after a 4-d culture with autologous EBV-LCL cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Fig. 4 D</xref>). In contrast, blocking CD27–CD70 interactions did not affect the cytotoxicity of antigen-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell clones against autologous EBV-LCL presenting specific peptides (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Fig. 4 E</xref>). Thus, CD27–CD70 interactions are required for the initial priming of antigen-specific T cells but not for their subsequent effector function.</p><fig id="fig4" fig-type="figure" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Figure 4.</label><caption><p><bold>Impaired cytotoxicity of CD70-deficient CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells against EBV–B cell targets.</bold> (A) PBMCs from healthy donors (<italic>n</italic> = 11), heterozygous relatives (<italic>n</italic> = 3), and CD70-deficient patients (<italic>n</italic> = 4) were labeled with CFSE and then cultured in vitro in the absence (Nil) or presence of anti-CD2, CD3, CD28 beads, PMA/ionomycin (iono), or PHA/IL-2.

Note the increased level of activation of EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell clones in the presence of unpulsed LCLs, over that observed for flu-specific clones, reflects the recognition of peptides by EBV-specific clones presented endogenously (i.e., without pulsing) by the autologous LCLs.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="JEM_20160849_Fig4"></graphic></fig></sec></sec><sec sec-type="discussion" id="s09"><title>Discussion</title><p>We have identified four patients from two unrelated kindreds with autosomal recessive CD70 deficiency.

individuals are clinically stable (range in age from 8 to 33 yr), whereas CD27 deficiency showed a high rate of mortality (29%; death reported between 2 and 25 yr of age, mainly related to malignancies and infections; <xref rid="bib52" ref-type="bibr">van Montfrans et al., 2012</xref>; <xref rid="bib43" ref-type="bibr">Salzer et al., 2013</xref>; <xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">Alkhairy et al., 2015a</xref>). It is also notable that the <italic>CD70</italic> heterozygous parents from both families developed cancer, either with an uncommon malignancy (astrocytoma) or at an early age (35 yr), which has not been reported in families of CD27-deficient individuals. Finally, the spectrum of clinical manifestations in CD27- and CD70-deficient individuals varies from asymptomatic to fatal EBV-associated diseases, even among patients carrying the same mutation (<xref rid="bib52" ref-type="bibr">van Montfrans et al., 2012</xref>; <xref rid="bib43" ref-type="bibr">Salzer et al., 2013</xref>; this study). It is possible that the context of the primary viral infection—time, location, type, and initial viral load—influences the onset and severity of other clinical/immunological phenotypes. Other genetic modifiers could also interact with environmental factors and, together, account for incomplete penetrance of each viral phenotype and variable expressivity of both conditions.</p><p>The CD27–CD70 interaction has been shown to be important for B cell activation, plasma cell generation, and Ig production in vitro (<xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">Agematsu et al., 1995</xref>, <xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>; <xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">Jacquot et al., 1997</xref>; <xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Borst et al., 2005</xref>). Consistent with this notion, all CD70-deficient and 70% of CD27-deficient patients had hypogammaglobulinemia, poor Ab responses to vaccinations, and/or a reduced percentage of switched memory B cells. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether the antibody defect in CD27 or CD70 deficiency results from defective terminal B cell differentiation and/or lack of T cell help or is caused by EBV or other viral infections. In several CD27-deficient patients, serum Ig levels were normal or high initially but declined dramatically in the months after documented EBV infection. This suggests that hypogammaglobulinemia in these patients may be secondary or facilitated by the underlying genetic defect, as seen in some cases of XLP syndrome (<xref rid="bib52" ref-type="bibr">van Montfrans et al., 2012</xref>; <xref rid="bib43" ref-type="bibr">Salzer et al., 2013</xref>; <xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">Tangye, 2014</xref>).</p><p>CD27–CD70 co-stimulation is not critical for T cell development but is involved in peripheral T cell priming and effector functions (<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">Hintzen et al., 1995</xref>; <xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Borst et al., 2005</xref>). CD27<sup>−/−</sup> mice show impaired CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell priming and T cell memory generation against influenza (<xref rid="bib23" ref-type="bibr">Hendriks et al., 2000</xref>, <xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>). CD70<sup>−/−</sup> mice have robust cytokine responses during early stages of mouse CMV infection, leading to initial control of viral load; however, they fail to generate an optimal virus-specific cytotoxic T cell response (<xref rid="bib8" ref-type="bibr">Allam et al., 2014</xref>). The establishment of memory CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and the ability to mount a recall response to LCMV are, however, normal in these mice (<xref rid="bib36" ref-type="bibr">Munitic et al., 2013</xref>). Furthermore, CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell responses are essentially intact in CD70<sup>−/−</sup> mice (<xref rid="bib36" ref-type="bibr">Munitic et al., 2013</xref>). IL-2–producing EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells were shown to be reduced in one CD27-deficient patient (<xref rid="bib52" ref-type="bibr">van Montfrans et al., 2012</xref>), whereas EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells from CD70-deficient patients exhibited a naive phenotype or were below the limit of detection. Moreover, expression of 2B4 and NKG2D on memory and EBV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells was reduced in CD70-deficient individuals. Impaired signaling through 2B4, a SLAM (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule) family member that recruits SAP (SLAM-associated protein), underlies defective cytolytic responses to EBV infection in SAP-deficient XLP patients (<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">Hislop et al., 2010</xref>; <xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Palendira et al., 2011</xref>; <xref rid="bib54" ref-type="bibr">Waggoner and Kumar, 2012</xref>). Similarly, mutations in <italic>MAGT1</italic>, causing X-linked immunodeficiency with magnesium defect, EBV infection, and neoplasia disease, abrogate up-regulation of NKG2D on NK and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, thereby compromising their ability to lyse EBV-infected target cells (<xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">Chaigne-Delalande et al., 2013</xref>). As these studies revealed critical roles for 2B4 and NKG2D in cytotoxic lymphocyte-mediated control of EBV infection, impaired expression of these receptors on memory CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in CD70-deficient patients is consistent with the compromised cytotoxic T cell responses against EBV-infected cells that were also observed. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation of how pathogenic mutations in distinct signaling pathways converge to yield a common clinical phenotype. As co-engagement of 2B4 and NKG2D on human NK cells synergize to yield greater cytotoxicity than engagement of either receptor alone (<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">Bryceson et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="bib34" ref-type="bibr">Kwon et al., 2016</xref>), it is possible that the combinatorial effect of concomitant signaling via both of these receptors on CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells will also be affected by their diminished expression in the absence of CD70. It is highly likely that parallel defects underlie susceptibility to EBV-induced disease in individuals with biallelic mutations in <italic>CD27</italic>.</p><p>In conclusion, we have defined a novel PID resulting from CD70 deficiency characterized by increased susceptibility to EBV-induced disease as well as impairments in T and B cell differentiation, culminating in reduced immunological memory. These findings complement the clinical features of CD27 deficiency and underscore the critical function of CD27/CD70 signaling in regulating humoral and cell-mediated immunity in humans, especially for control of EBV. Overexpression of CD70 has been observed in several autoimmune disorders (<xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">Han et al., 2016</xref>) and various tumors (<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">Jacobs et al., 2015</xref>). Immunotherapy targeting the CD27–CD70 axis has therefore been developed and tested in clinical trials (<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">Jacobs et al., 2015</xref>). However, frequently occurring deleterious somatic mutations or large deletions in the <italic>CD70</italic> gene have recently been described in diffuse large B cell or Burkitt’s lymphomas (<xref rid="bib44" ref-type="bibr">Scholtysik et al., 2012</xref>; <xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">de Miranda et al., 2014</xref>). Our discovery and characterization of CD70-deficient individuals provide further insight into the role of CD27/CD70 in autoimmunity and antitumor response and will refine the targeted therapies to the corresponding diseases. In addition, patients receiving Abs blocking CD27–CD70 interaction should be monitored for EBV-induced malignancies.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="s10"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="s11"><title>Case studies</title><p>The proband from the first family (P1) is a female born to Persian consanguineous parents living in Iran. She was admitted to the hospital at the age of 5 yr because of severe chicken pox infection, which led to varicella pneumonia. At the age of 8 yr, she was seen as an outpatient with symptoms suggestive of Behçet’s syndrome, including arthralgia of the knee caused by nonerosive oligoarthritis, oral aphthous ulcers, and posterior uveitis. Administration of oral prednisolone improved her condition. At age 9, the patient was hospitalized for immunological evaluation because of recurrent upper respiratory tract infections including otitis media and sinusitis. Hypogammaglobulinemia and poor antibody responses to tetanus and diphtheria vaccinations, but normal T and B lymphocyte counts, were documented. IVIG replacement and prophylactic treatment with antibiotics reduced the frequency and severity of the infectious episodes. Despite regular follow-up, she developed finger clubbing, mild restrictive and obstructive pulmonary function (assessed by spirometry at age 10), alopecia areata (at age 11), peptic ulcer and gastritis, and splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy (at age 17). A diagnosis of mixed cellularity–type HL was made, compatible with stage IIIE,S. Gastric biopsies from an ulcerated lesion in the lesser gastric curve were also taken during this admission, revealing HL-associated lymphohistiocytic infiltration. DNA prepared from a gastric HL biopsy showed a strong EBV<sup>+</sup> signal, as determined by <italic>EBNA1</italic> gene amplification, suggestive of EBV-driven lymphomagenesis. She responded well to four cycles of chemotherapy (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) and achieved clinical remission. Antibodies (IgG) against EBV (EBNA), CMV, HSV-1, and varicella zoster virus were present at high titers, but no EBV or CMV genes were detected by PCR in the plasma, suggesting remission of the disease. At her most recent clinical follow-up at age 29 yr, her clinical condition was stable on monthly IVIG and prophylactic antimicrobial therapy.</p><p>P1 has four siblings, three of whom are healthy. The fourth sibling (P2) had encephalitis during infancy, which led to mental retardation. The encephalitis was likely caused by an undefined central nervous system viral infection, as bacterial infections and other causes of acute encephalopathy were excluded. Normal lymphocyte counts and normal serum Ig levels but low antibody titers against tetanus and diphtheria in spite of vaccination were observed. His antibody (IgG) titers against EBV, CMV, HSV-1, and varicella zoster virus were also high, but no active infections were detected by PCR. At the most recent follow up at age 33 yr, he was intellectually disabled (IQ-based score 64) but did not present with other clinical manifestations. Both maternal and paternal grandparents died from malignancies. The parents have no signs of immunodeficiency, but the father developed prostate cancer at the age of 53 and the mother had uterine cancer (mixed serous-endometrial carcinoma) and astrocytoma at 53 and 60 yr of age, respectively. The mother also had two unexplained miscarriages.</p><p>The proband from the second consanguineous family (P3), of Turkish origin, had recurrent otitis media, frequent fever, and diarrhea episodes starting at 1 yr of age. He was 2.5 yr old when he developed diffuse cervical lymphadenopathy. Excisional biopsy revealed mixed cellularity–type HL that was EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) antigen positive. EBV VCA IgG was positive, and EBV PCR detected 5,726 copies/ml in blood. Reduced Ig levels were detected at the HL diagnosis, but specific antibody responses were present. Peripheral lymphocyte immunophenotyping was normal except for CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell lymphopenia that later resolved. Although remission was achieved with two cycles of OPPA (vincristine [Oncovin], procarbazine, prednisone, and doxorubicin [Adriamycin]) and four cycles of COPP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine [Oncovin], procarbazine, and prednisone), relapse of HL occurred in the same region. Three cycles of ABVD (doxorubicin [Adriamycin], bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) and 2,000-cGy radiotherapy resulted in complete remission. Ig levels were still low; thus, IVIG and antimicrobial prophylaxis were started. After 9 yr of an uneventful clinical course, he had elevated EBV PCR copy numbers, which were unresponsive to acyclovir treatment but became negative after two doses of rituximab. He currently remains in complete remission at age 16 years without PCR-detectable EBV or CMV in blood.</p><p>P3 has a brother (P4) who was almost 3 yr old when he also developed chronic cervical lymphadenopathy with EBV-associated mixed cellular HL. EBV VCA IgG was positive in blood; EBV was also detected by PCR in his cerebrospinal fluid. He had a history of recurrent upper respiratory infections. Similar to his brother, he had normal lymphocyte immunophenotyping but hypogammaglobulinemia, for which IVIG and antimicrobial prophylaxis were given. Although he entered remission after six cycles of ABVD, relapse of the tumor occurred 2 yr later. Histopathologic examination showed positive EBV LMP1 and CD30 consistent with HL. Six cycles of gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and brentuximab were followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Although he had an episode of posttransplant EBV flare up, he currently also remains in complete remission, without PCR-detectable EBV or CMV in blood.</p></sec><sec id="s12"><title>Clinical evaluation</title><p>Written informed consent was obtained from the patients and their relatives or the healthy normal donors.

Repeated stimulations of EBV-specific CTLs were performed every 7–10 d using γ-irradiated autologous EBV-LCL cells at a ratio of 4:1. CTLs after the third restimulation cycle were used in cytotoxicity assays against autologous EBV-LCLs.</p><p>NK cells were isolated from PBMCs using CD56<sup>+</sup>-positive selection (Miltenyi Biotec). Cells were stimulated with 100 U/ml rhIL-2 (Proleukin) in IMDM containing 10% human AB serum (CellGenix), 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin (Invitrogen), and 55 µM 2-ME. NK cells for up to 10 d of culture were used in cytotoxicity assays against either the K562 or 721.221 cell lines.</p><p>NK cell and CTL cytotoxicity were measured using the GranToxilux Plus kit (OncoImmunin, Inc.) according to the manufacturer instructions. Target cells were loaded with 1:3,000 or 1:4,000 TFL4 dye for 1–20 min at 37°C, washed twice in PBS, and plated with effector cells. NK cells and CTLs were plated at an effector/target ratio from 0.5:1 to 5:1 and 2:1 to 20:1, respectively, in the presence of the granzyme B substrate. After 1 h of incubation, cytotoxicity was measured using FACSVerse or FACSCanto flow cytometers (BD).</p></sec><sec id="s20"><title>CD70 blockade of EBV-specific CTL activation</title><p>PBMCs from normal healthy donors were cultured with irradiated autologous EBV-LCLs (as described in the Cytotoxic T and NK cell killing assay section). Anti–human CD70 antibody (clone 113-16; BioLegend) or mouse IgG1 isotype control antibody (clone MOPC-21; BioLegend) was added to the culture medium (2.5–10 µg/ml). After 4–5 d of culture, cells were stained with anti–human CD3 (clone HIT3a), CD4 (clone A161A1), CD8 (clone HIT8a), CD25 (clone BC96), and NKG2D (clone 1D11; BioLegend). Cell-surface expression was detected using FACSCanto or Fortessa flow cytometers (BD). CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell clones specific for either EBV or influenza were generated from healthy donors as previously described (<xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Palendira et al., 2011</xref>), expanded on feeder cells (irradiated allogeneic PBMCs plus autologous EBV-transformed B cell lines presenting specific peptides) for 7–10 d, and then used in cytotoxicity assays. In brief, CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell clones were incubated with EBV-LCLs that were either unpulsed or pulsed with 1 µg/ml of specific antigenic peptides in the absence or presence of blocking anti-CD70 mAb. After 6 h, expression of CD107a by the CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells was determined.</p></sec><sec id="s21"><title>Statistical analyses</title><p>Prism 7 (GraphPad Software) was used with the indicated tests.
