Natural killer cell function is altered during the primary response of aged mice to influenza infection
Open accessAbstract
Influenza is a public health concern, especially for the elderly. While influenza vaccination is efficacious in the young, it offers only limited protection in the elderly. Thus, it becomes imperative to understand age-related changes in the primary response to influenza infection. This study identified potential age-related defects in natural killer (NK) cell function during influenza infection. We showed that NK cells from aged mice were reduced and had impaired function and altered phenotype in lungs during influenza infection. Aged NK cells demonstrated decreased IFN-γ production, but not degranulation, after influenza infection. However, after ex vivo activation with YAC-1 cells, aged NK cells demonstrated both reduced IFN-γ production and degranulation. IFN-γ was also reduced in aged NK cells after activation with anti-NKp46 and soluble cytokines. IFN-β, and IL-12p40 mRNA expression was not significantly different from that observed in adult mice. Analysis of NK cell subsets indicated that aged mice had more immature and less terminally mature NK cells. These data suggest that aging affects the numbers, function and phenotype of NK cells. Thus, these defects in NK cell function could impair the ability of aged mice to induce a strong antiviral immune response during the early stages of the infection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
