Why aging T cells fail: implications for vaccination
1Trudeau Institute, Inc., Saranac Lake, New York 12983.
Abstract:
The decline in CD4+ T cell function with aging contributes to reduced vaccine efficacy. In this commentary, we discuss the factors leading to age-related changes in T cell function and propose how they may be overcome to enhance vaccine efficacy for the elderly.
