Convergence and divergence of individual immune responses over the life course.

Abstract excerpt

Three ingredients create the strikingly variable immune trajectories observed across human populations: (i) genetic variation, (ii) individual-scale generation of additional genetic diversity solely in lymphocytes, and (iii) collision of these processes with a changing environment through life, triggering plastic responses that can have lasting effects. We explore what generates or reduces immune variation,...
