1 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
A progressive, systemic, and low-grade proinflammatory status is one of the major characteristics of immunosenescence. Emerging data suggest a possible contribution of CMV, known to chronically infect a large proportion of humans, lifelong from newborns to centenarians. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated functional T cell responses to two CMV immunogenic proteins, pp65 and IE-1, in 65 chronically infected...
