Abstract:
:Adhesion molecules, such as leukocyte-function-associated antigen (LFA-1 or CD11a/CD18), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1 or CD54) and Hermes antigen (HCAM or CD44), have important roles in many adhesive interactions involving cells of the immune system. Since it has been shown that many immunological alterations were present in aged subjects, we studied the expression and density of these molecules on peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes from healthy old subjects. A decrease in monocyte subpopulations bearing CD11a/CD18 and an increase in CD11a/CD18 and and CD44 antigen density on lymphocytes and on monocytes, respectively, were observed. These changes might be an event in the mechanism leading to the decreased lymphocyte proliferative response in vitro and to other immunological dysfunctions reported in old subjects.

GERONTOLOGY文献大全abstract::Aging is associated with far-reaching changes in physiological functions resulting in morbidity and ultimately death. Age-related frailty, insecurity and reduced physical activity contribute to a progressive loss of muscle mass and function, commonly referred to as sarcopenia.
