Summary

TCR is identified as the key factor in differential maintenance and function of Ag-specific precursors in unimmunized mice with aging, and it is found that VM conversion had adverse functional effects in both old wild-type and old TCRTg mice; that is, old VM, but not old true naive, T cells exhibited blunted TCR-mediated, butNot IL-15–mediated, proliferation.
