This study used a panel of mAb and multiparameter flow cytometry to assess the composition of PBL from healthy aged individuals. The results showed that while total lymphocyte numbers altered only marginally in the aged (> or = 70 years) there were significant changes in the distribution of various sub-populations; for example, there were lower numbers of CD3+ and CD8+ cells, and higher numbers of CD16+ (NK) cells. As a direct result of these changes the numbers of CD2+ cells remained unchanged in the aged compared with young adult controls (18-25 years). The number of CD4+ T cells expressing CD45RO isoform (memory cells) exceeded the number of CD4+CD45RA+ (naive) cells in aged donors, whereas the converse was true for young donors. In addition, associated with this increase in CD45RO+ cells, the aged showed an expanded population of CD45RO+ T cells displaying low surface levels of CD45RO. These data suggest that shifts in the distribution of regulatory T cell subsets may play a role in age-related changes in immune response.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

D011971 Receptors, Immunologic Cell surface molecules on cells of the immune system that specifically bind surface molecules or messenger molecules and trigger changes in the behavior of cells. Although these receptors were first identified in the immune system, many have important functions elsewhere.
