Dissecting human antibody responses: useful, basic and surprising findings.

abstract：:Aging is associated with redox imbalance according to the redox theory of aging. Consistently, a mouse model of premature aging (LmnaG609G/+ ) showed an increased level of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a reduced basal antioxidant capacity, including loss of the NADPH-coupled glutathione redox system....

We show that three human mt aminoacyl-t...
