Perturbed CD8+ T cell immunity across universal influenza epitopes in the elderly
20 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Influenza epidemics lead to severe illness, life-threatening complications, and deaths, especially in the elderly. As CD8+ T cells are associated with rapid recovery from influenza, we investigated the effects of aging on antigen-specific CD8+ T cells across the universal influenza epitopes in humans. We show that aging is characterized by altered frequencies in T cell subsets, with naive T cells being...
