Age Impacts the Local Immune Response to Tuberculin Skin Challenge in Mycobacterium Bovis BCG-vaccinated Baboons

2020-12-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> - Individuals over the age of 65 are highly susceptible to infectious diseases, which account for one-third of deaths in this age group. Vaccines are a primary tool to combat infection, yet they are less effective in the elderly population. While many groups have aimed to address this problem by studying vaccine-induced peripheral blood responses in the elderly, work from our lab and others d...
