T cell responses are altered in the aged in a manner usually interpreted as detrimental to host defences against infectious agents and possibly also against cancer. T cell dysregulation may be caused by any or a combination of stem cell deficits, compromised T cell differentiation, inefficient antigen processing and presentation by antigen presenting cells, suboptimal processing of the antigenic signal by T cells...
