Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Age-related changes in the antibody response have been classically associated with alterations in T-cell help, but increasing evidence shows that intrinsic B-cell defects exist.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Freshly isolated lymphocytes from spleen and Peyer's patches (PPs) were labeled for B-cell lineage...
