Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: Identify the etiology of elevated B(12) in autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS). DESIGN: Peripheral blood of ALPS patients with elevated B(12) and controls were evaluated. RESULTS: Total and holo-haptocorrin (HC) levels were 26- and 23-fold higher in ALPS patients, respectively. No abnormal B(12)-binding proteins were found. Western blot revealed HC in lymphocyte lysates only from ALPS patients. CONCLUSION: Elevated concentrations of B(12) found in ALPS patients were due to increased lymphocyte expression of HC.
