Abstract:
Human IFN-? inducing ability was measured in 82 elderly and 26 younger subjects.Among them, interferon levels in plasma of 5 cases were measured.The results show that no interferon was detected in plasma in both elderly and younger subjects.The human IFN-? inducing ability in the normal elderly was significantly lower than that in younger normal subjects, and that of the patients with cancer or severe infectious disease was significantly lower than that of the normal elderly, but there was no difference of IFN-? inducing ability between the postoperative cancer patients and normal elderly.
