Increasing susceptibility of the elderly to many infectious diseases is highly associated with the loss or delay in the generation of antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells. For Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, where antigen-specific CD4(+) T cell derived IFN-gamma is essential, such a loss can lead to a significant failure to control infection. The present paper develops a mathematical model of infection with M. tuberculosis in old mice. The model includes an early resistance to infection which i ...[more]
