Institut für Immunologie und Transfusionsmedizin, Medizinische Universitat zu Lubeck
Z Gerontol Geriatr 30:220-5. 1997..In conclusion, the immune system shows many age-dependent changes, but we know little about the reason and the potential pathological effects of these changes...
Altered cytokine production in the elderlyL Rink
Institute of Immunology and Transfusion Medicine, University of Lübeck School of Medicine, Germany
Mech Ageing Dev 102:199-209. 1998..In contrast, in vitro induction of IFN-alpha by viruses is decreased in the elderly compared to the young. In conclusion, there are cellular defects and dysfunctions in the elderly resulting in an altered immune response...

Zinc in pharmacological doses suppresses allogeneic reaction without affecting the antigenic responseC Faber
Institute of Immunology and Transfusion Medicine, , , Germany
Bone Marrow Transplant 33:1241-6. 2004..So far, no clinical application studies have been performed, but the observed selective suppression of allogeneic reaction by zinc is the first step towards a new generation of immunosuppressants...
