Studies of T, B, and "null" blood lymphocytes in normal persons of different age groups
Abstract:
The numbers of T, B, and "null" blood lymphocytes were determined in 216 normal healthy persons, whose ages ranged from 20 to 94 years. No change was found in the numbers of T or B lymphocytes with increasing age of the subjects, whereas both the total lymphocytes and the number of "null" lymphocytes decreased just significantly with age (p less than 0.05). The response of blood lymphocytes to phytohaemagglutinin in vitro was measured in 25 subjects aged 20-30 years and compared with the response in 23 subjects aged over 60 years. There was no significant difference in the response of the two groups.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
