Adults 65 Years Old and Older Have Reduced Numbers of Functional Memory T Cells to Respiratory Syncytial Virus Fusion Protein
13 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects elderly (≥65 years) adults, causing medically attended illness and hospitalizations. While RSV neutralizing antibody levels correlate inversely with RSV-associated hospitalization in the elderly, the role of RSV-specific T cells in preventing disease in the elderly remains unclear. We examined RSV-specific humoral, mucosal, and cellular immune profiles in healthy elderly...
