Abstract Recent data suggest a critical role for dendritic cells DCs in the generation of immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells. In the work reported herein we analyzed the frequency of peripheral blood plasmacytoid DCs pDCs and myeloid DCs mDCs in a cohort of 44 adults with common variable immunodeficiency CVID classified according to their CD27 membrane expression status on B cells. A deep alteration in the distribution of DC subsets especially of pDCs in the peripheral blood of CVID patients was found. Patients with a reduced number of class-switched CD27 IgD IgM memory B cells and patients with granulomatous disease had a dramatic decrease in pDCs P and vs controls respectively and to a lesser extent of .
