Abstract excerpt
Aging mice of strains susceptible to the induction of experimental systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) develop a milder disease than young animals. To find out whether the decrease in susceptibility to disease is due to age-associated changes in cytokine profile, we first examined the secretion of cytokines by healthy mice aged 2-15 months. A gradual age-related decline in the levels of interleukin (IL)-2 and...
