Abstract：
:The decreased immune response associated with aging may, in part, reflect intrinsic age-related biochemical alterations in lymphocytes from older animals. We measured levels of lymphocyte adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and continuous [3H]thymidine incorporation in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes from young and old humans, and the effects thereon of inhibitors of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and protein synthesis. No difference was found in adenine nucleotide content between young and old subjects. After 24 hours of culture there was a decrease in ATP, with recovery and 2--3-fold increase at 48 hours in young cells after phytohemagglutinin stimulation. We observed a clearcut delay in older lymphocytes of the increase in ATP and [3H]thymidine incorporation following phytohemagglutinin stimulation. We found no evidence for decreased viability or diminished number of responding units in aged cultures. The evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in the immunodeficiency of aging.
