Elevated Levels of Interferon-γ Production by Memory T Cells Do Not Promote Transplant Tolerance Resistance in Aged Recipients
Kim, James I.; Stott, Ryan T.; Soohoo, Julie; Lee, Kang Mi; Zhao, Gaoping; Yeh, Heidi; Deng, Shaoping; Markmann, James F. (Public Library of Science, 2013)Immunosenescence predisposes the elderly to infectious and autoimmune diseases and impairs the response to vaccination. We recently demonstrated that ageing also impedes development of transplantation tolerance. Unlike ... -
