Longevity of B-Cell and T-Cell Responses After Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccination in Children

BACKGROUND The live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) is the preferred vaccine for children, but the mechanisms behind protective immune responses are unclear, and the duration of immunity remains to be elucidated. This study reports on the longevity of B-cell and T-cell responses elicited by the LAIV. METHODS Thirty-eight children (3-17 years old) were administered seasonal LAIV. Blood sam...

Homocysteine and Familial Longevity: The Leiden Longevity Study

Homocysteine concentrations are a read-out of methionine metabolism and have been related to changes in lifespan in animal models. In humans, high homocysteine concentrations are an important predictor of age related disease. We aimed to explore the association of homocysteine with familial longevity by testing whether homocysteine is lower in individuals that are genetically enriched for longe...
