Abstract/OtherAbstract:
If human antibody responses undergo molecular shifts similar to those identified in mice, the appropriate immunization strategy for the elderly would be a passive administration of the protective antibody from young donors rather than an attempt to boost the individual's own response with a more potent vaccine, because the shifted immune system can no longer make the right kind of antibody.
