Regulation of Aged Humoral Immune Defense against Pneumococcal Bacteria by IgM Memory B Cell
Open accessAbstract
Elderly persons have a high incidence of lethal infections by encapsulated bacteria. However, mechanisms involved in their poor defense and maintenance of immunological memory have been poorly understood. The present study characterized the population of B cells known as IgM memory B cell compartment and their response by pneumococcal vaccine in elderly people. CD27+ memory B cells, particularly IgD+IgM+CD27+ IgM memory B cells, had dramatically declined in the aged. Their Ig syntheses by B cells and the differentiation into plasma cells were diminished in vitro compared with those in adults. A rise of anti-pneumococcal IgM in sera of elderly persons was found with lower levels compared with those in adults after pneumococcal vaccination. Although diminished function itself of aged B cells surely exist, decline of the IgM memory B cell pool is expected to result in a poor humoral immunity against pneumococcal infection in elderly people.

The decline in human B cell number is likely due to fewer IgM+ memory and switched memory B cells, because total naive B cells remain unchanged by aging.
“This decline is likely due to decreased numbers of IgM + memory and switched memory B cells, because the total number of naive B cells remains unchanged by aging (51,52).”
From Causes, consequences, and reversal of immune system aging (2013) · cites this paper as [52]
The percentage of switched memory B cells decreases with age.
“Using these markers, it has been shown that the percentage of switched memory B cells, the predictors of optimal antibody responses [114], decreases with age [115, 116].”

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.
