A novel approach to study variable heavy chain gene usage in response to the capsular polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C.

Journal of microbiological methods - 1 Aug 2002

Srivastava Neeti, Smithson S Louise, Westerink M A Julie

Abstract excerpt

The molecular mechanisms involved in the relatively poor immune response in the elderly are not clearly understood. Qualitative aspects of the immune response could be a possible explanation for the differential response to T-independent antigens in young adults and elderly. This study is directed towards elucidating the differential usage of variable heavy chain by young adult and elderly derived sequences in...
