  • Title: Old age and immunity.
    Author: Binette JP.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1982 Mar; 9(1):7-13. PubMed ID: 6978498.
    Abstract:
    Changes in immunoglobulin production and delayed-type hypersensitivity occur in the elderly, making it difficult for the aging immune system to meet new challenges, such as infectious agents or neoplastic cells. The maintenance and repair of host defenses is thus both a significant scientific and social goal.
