Dynamics of memory cell subsets in human tonsils with age: impact on the functional reconfiguration of the organ

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background. The palatine tonsils are lymphoepithelial structures in which immune responses to inhaled and ingested pathogens are mounted. While we have previously shown that tonsillar immune effector function declines with age, the impact of such erosion on the local viral reservoirs or in specific memory responses remains to be defined. Methods. We performed phenotypic and functional...
