Gradual changes within long-lived influenza virus-specific CD8+ T cells are associated with the loss of public TCR clonotypes in older adults
17 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background Susceptibility to life-threatening influenza increases with age, partly due to declining immunity. Frequency, phenotype and T-cell receptor (TCR) composition of influenza-specific CD8 + T-cells directed at the prominent A2/M1 58 influenza epitope change across the human lifespan. Methods We investigated longevity and mechanisms underlying age-related changes in influenza-specific TCR repertoires by...
