Immunopharmacology Comments
TACI is a lymphocyte-specific TNF superfamily receptor expressed on B cells. Endogenous ligands include APRIL, BAFF and CAML. Defects in the function of TACI can underlie immunodeficiencies and autoimmune diseases. TACI ligands are molecular targets of approved and investigational biologics that are intended to treat B cell-mediated immune system defects

Disease:  Common variable immunodeficiency
Description: CVID is a group of genetically heterogeneous primary immunodeficiencies. Whilst a small number of cases can be linked to deficiency in a single gene (see the OMIM links as examples), the cause is likely to be polygenic in the majority of cases. Symptoms vary between patients, but CVID is generally characterised by a failure to produce antibodies (hypogammaglobulinemia) and therefore susceptibility to recurrent infections and inflammation (including autoimmunity).
