Abstract excerpt
A chimeric mouse model has been used to determine the effect of aging on the differentiation of CD8+ T cells and on the regeneration capacity of the mature peripheral T cell pool after radiation induced depletion. Bone marrow cells from Thy 1.1+ mice were transplanted into lethally irradiated young or aged mice (Thy 1.2+). After 6 weeks, splenic CD8+ T cells were subjected to phenotypic and functional...
