Abstract:
A case with common variable immunodeficiency associated to hyperprolactinaemia and severe damage of mucosal defenses is reported, in which humoral and cellular response was widely explored. The impact of the cytokines therapy was analyzed as complementary schedule to the conventional therapy with gammaglobuline. Immune response to the treatment was long-time evaluated in relation with therapeutic interventions. Combination of alpha 2 b-IFN, thymic factors, gammaglobuline and GM-CSF was a good alternative to treat complicated common variable immunodeficiency.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
