CONCLUSIONS The ELISPOT assay is sensitive functional test for determination of specific antibody production in PID patients under substitution immunoglobulin therapy. In well-defined CVID patients almost no detectable peripheral B-cells producing specific IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies agains Tet. Tox. and PCP were observed. If the IgG response was detectable after Tet. Tox. vaccination most patients but not all were characterized as smB+21norm according to EUROclass.
