Upregulation of interferon-γ activation in patients with anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies immunodeficiency syndrome: insights from single-cell analysis
In summary, this first single-cell atlas maps AIGAs immunodeficiency syndrome as a Th1-skewed, IFN-γ-driven disorder sustained by CD4<sup>+</sup> Tem-CD14<sup>+</sup> monocyte crosstalk. It combines T-cell activation, expanded Th1 and ISG<sup>+</sup> B cells, and loss of memory/plasma B cells to drive autoantibody generation. Skewed T- and B-cell trajectories and polygenic up-regulation of interferon/HLA genes provide a clear mechanistic rationale for targeted therapy.
