Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We obtained flow-cytometry data on immune cells from more than 200 healthy individuals in a cohort of people in Nagahama city, and are analyzing a possible correlation between immune cell phenotypes and laboratory values. In addition, we succeeded in identifying new age-related T cell subset (CXCR3+ naive phenotype CD8 T cells) using thymectomy mouse model and confirmed the existence of CD8 T cells with similar phenotypic and functional properties in human.
