  • Cytokine stimulation assays have proven utility for assessing overall immune competence.

    “Despite the proven utility of cytokine stimulation assays used in our study with respect to an individual’s overall immune competence5,24,25”
  • Other studies found no relationship between CMV carrier status and reduced influenza vaccine responses with age; CMV infection even appeared to improve antibody responses in young individuals, possibly by activating innate cells.

    “other studies have not found a relationship between CMV carrier status and reduced influenza vaccine responses with age; on the contrary, CMV infection appeared to even have a positive effect on antibody responses in young individuals, presumably by activating innate cells”

  • Immune changes associated with HCMV may have significant impact during co-infection and vaccination, as well as on general and immunological fitness.

    “Immune changes associated with HCMV may have significant impact during co-infection and vaccination, as well as on general and immunological fitness.”
  • The correlation between HCMV positivity and impaired responses is controversial because this relationship is observed in some but not all studies.

    “However, the correlation between HCMV positivity and impaired responses is controversial because this relationship is observed in some but not all studies (54–56).”
  • Other studies have reported vaccine-boosting effects of CMV in young individuals.

    “For example, some studies have shown no effect of CMV on vaccine responses in the elderly (den Elzen et al. 2011; O’Connor et al. 2014; Wald et al. 2013) and other studies have even reported vaccine-boosting effects of CMV in young individuals (Furman et al. 2015).”

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.
