Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Donors: 1). Age 0-12 months (including boundary values), gender is not limited; 2). Surgery for congenital heart disease; 3). The percentage of total T cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, naïve CD4+ T cells, naïve CD8+ T cells, B cells, and NK cells in the peripheral blood is within the normal range; 4). The guardian fully understands the protocol and agrees to sign the approved informed consent form; Receptor: 1) For a diagnosis of typical complete DiGeorge syndrome, the patient has one of the following characteristics: Heart defects,poparathyroidism,22q11 hemizygote,10p13 hemizygote,Coloboma, heart defect, choanal atresia, growth and development retardation, genital hypoplasia, ear anomalies/ deafness CHARGE association mutation (CHD7 deletion),PHA proliferative responses less than 20-fold above background; 2) The patient's peripheral immunological indicators meet one of the following two conditions: The number of CD3+T cells in PBMCs is less than 50/mm3, or PHA proliferative responses < 20-fold over background; If the number of CD3+T cells is greater than 50/mm3, then the number of Naïve T cells is less than 50/mm3, or the TREC by PCR has to be less than 100 per 100000 CD3+T; 3) The guardian fully understands the plan and agrees to sign the approved informed consent form.
