The major histocompatibility complex-unrestricted, cell-mediated, constitutive anti-tumor cytotoxic function of natural killer cells is highly preserved in healthy elderly. A study of the dynamics of expression of natural killer cell-associated phenotypes during immunosenescence shows that selective
We have been studying the immune system of healthy centenarians for many years, and they provide the best example of successful aging. They are people who have escaped major age-related diseases and reached the extreme limit of human life in good clinical condition. In most cases, histories of cente
## Abstract βImmunosenescenceβ is an imprecise term used to describe deleterious ageβassociated changes to immune parameters observed in all mammals studied so far. Primarily anecdotal evidence implies that failing immunity is responsible for the increased incidence and severity of infectious disea
