Systematic review and quantitative meta-analysis of age-dependent human T-lymphocyte homeostasis by Victoria Kulesh, Victoria Kulesh, Kirill Peskov, Kirill Peskov, Kirill Peskov, Gabriel Helmlinger, Gennady Bocharov, Gennady Bocharov, Gennady Bocharov

“…Notably, an increase in T-lymphocyte numbers is observed in neonates and infants (0 – 1 year of age) towards less differentiated T-lymphocyte subpopulations, while an increase into more differentiated subpopulations emerges later (1 – 5 years of age).ConclusionA comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of T-lymphocyte age-dependent homeostasis in healthy humans was performed, to evaluate immune T-cell profiles as a function of age and to characterize generalized estimates of T-lymphocyte counts across age groups. Our study introduces a quantitative description of the fundamental parameters characterizing the maintenance and evolution of T-cell subsets with age, based on a comprehensive integration of available organ-specific and systems-level flow cytometry datasets. …”
