项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY We will use cutting edge single T cell analysis techniques to molecularly define the T cell repertoire and function of cellular immune responses of individuals 65 years of age or older. The mechanisms behind declining immune responses with age is likely multifactorial. Aging is associated with a reduction in the frequency of antibody secreting cells and the number of lymph node germinal centers, and we hypothesize this to be due to impaired ability of CD4+ T cells to provide adequate help to B cells. T follicular helper cells in germinal centers directly provide help to B cells, and induce them to become antibody-secreting plasma cells. We have previously demonstrated the frequencies of activated peripheral T follicular helper cells (pTfh) and circulating plasmablasts shortly after vaccination is directly related to subsequent titers of vaccine-specific antibodies. Furthermore, high dose influenza vaccine (IIV HD) was better able to induce activated pTfh cells than standard dose vaccine (IIV SD). In this application we will probe the mechanisms behind successful immune responses to vaccines in an elderly population. We will evaluate the immune T cell repertoire, the transcriptomic profile of responding cells, and inflation of CMV-reactive T cells in elderly individuals and determine the effect of these factors on the host's ability to mount successful immune responses to vaccines. !

项目摘要我们将使用尖端单T细胞分析技术来分子定义T细胞库，并 65岁以上个体的细胞免疫反应的功能。背后的机制随着年龄的增长，免疫反应下降可能是多因素的。衰老与减少抗体分泌细胞的频率和淋巴结生发中心的数量，我们假设这是由于CD4+ T细胞对B细胞提供足够帮助的能力受损所致。 T卵泡辅助细胞在生发中心直接为B细胞提供帮助，并诱导它们成为分泌血浆的抗体细胞。我们以前已经证明了活化的外围T卵泡细胞的频率疫苗接种后不久（PTFH）和循环纤溶酶与随后的滴度直接相关疫苗特异性抗体。此外，高剂量流感疫苗（IIV HD）能够更好地诱导活化的PTFH细胞比标准剂量疫苗（IIV SD）。在此应用中，我们将探测机制在老年人群中成功免疫反应的背后。我们将评估免疫T 细胞库，反应细胞的转录组谱以及老年人CMV反应性T细胞的充气个人并确定这些因素对宿主实现成功免疫能力的影响对疫苗的反应。呢
