T
he response of lymphocytes from young and old persons to phytohemagglutinin, pokeweed mitogen, or allogeneic lymphocytes has been measured. Lymphocytes from old persons incorporated significantly less tritiated thymidine as compared with lymphocytes from young persons when cultured with plant mitogens or allogeneic cells. The difference in observed lymphocyte reactivity could not be attributed to differences in culture conditions required for maximal transformation of lymphocytes from old or young subjects. The same percentage of thymus-derived and bone marrow-derived lymphocytes was found in the blood from old and young persons. The relationship of these findings to the decline of immunologic competence with age is discussed.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
