IL-3-LA production by mononuclear cells of patients with multiple sclerosis: effect of treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins.

abstract：:Infections are a major cause of illness and death amongst elderly people. Peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocytes --which play a crucial role in host defence against viral infections--, are divided in subsets based upon the expression of several cell and activation markers. In senescence changes and variations in peripher...
