description

With the descriptive term "immunosenescence" we classically define all those modifications, related to age, which cause reduced efficiency of immune responses with an increased risk of infectious diseases, which in the old age become the first cause of death, of autoimmune phenomena and, presumably, of tumors; all accompanied by a characteristic pro-inflammatory state.
