Immunity declines with advancing age. Lymphocyte proliferation, natural killer cell activity, and antibody response to tetanus toxoid vaccination were evaluated in cohorts of rhesus monkeys (Mucucu muluttu) aged 2-36 years in order to characterize senescent changes in immune function. The results we
In 23 subjects of different ages with Down's syndrome a number of parameters of non-specific defense of humoral and cellular immunity were investigated. While in all age groups complement factors C3, C4 and C5 as well as phagocytosis and NBT indices were in the normal range, a dysgammaglobulinaemia
