Lymphocytic protective effect of HHKV in elderly with oxidant stress

ABSTRACT

A study on the lymphocytic protective effect of HHKV was carried out on 20 samples of lymphocyte precipitated from peripheral blood of elderly. The lymphocytes suffered the oxidant lesion and exposure with HHKV. The results have shown that the HHKV recovered the function of lymphocytes with the oxidant lesion to normal level. These results indicated that the HHKV helped the elderly to limit the oxidant lesions for cells, which are responsible for immunoresponse and improve the ability of response to unspecific immune.
