Deficient Expression of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase in Monocytes from X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia as Evaluated by a Flow Cytometric Analysis and its Clinical Application to Carrier Detection

Asghar Aghamohammadi; Ali Akbar Amirzargar; Nima Parvaneh; Paul Marjousef; Mostafa Moin; Abdolhassan Farhoudi; Mehdi Yeganeh; Toshio Miyawaki

Volume 2, Issue 4 , December 2005, Pages 201-207

Abstract
  Background: The B-cell defect in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is caused by mutations in the gene for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK mutations result in deficient expression of BTK protein in peripheral blood monocytes. Methods: Using the anti-BTK monoclonal antibody (48-2H), a flow cytometric ...  Read More
