Gene expression signatures in activated CD4 T cells to predict_vaccine responses
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying_variable_vaccine responses, T- and B-cell responses to_vaccination with a life zoster_vaccine were examined in individuals of different ages. Diminished generation of long-lived memory T cells in older individuals was mainly caused by increased T cell loss after the peak response while the expansion of antigen-specific T cells was not affected by age. Gene expression in activated CD4 T cells co-expressing HLA-DR and CD38 at the time of the peak response identified gene modules related to cell cycle regulation and DNA repair that correlated with the contraction phase of the T cell response and consequently the generation of long-lived memory cells.
