Research Interest

Dr. Pérsio Roxo-Junior research interest consist of primary immunodeficiency diseases. Molecular diagnoses of primary immunodeficiency. Ontogeny of innate immune response. The main goals of our research are: 1. Diagnostic investigation of patients with recurrent infections; 2. Establish a correlation between primary immunodeficiency diseases and other co morbidities, such as allergy, autoimmunity and cancer; 3. Establish the molecular diagnosis of some primary immunodeficiency diseases, analyzing genotype-phenotype correlation and proposes means for early and definitive diagnosis; 4. Evaluate the production of reactive oxygen intermediate in healthy children and adults, by standardizing the dependent chemiluminescence of lucigenin, which will provide knowledge about the respiratory burst of neutrophils stimulated in different age groups, in addition to providing their reference values in healthy individuals.
