Cytomegalovirus serostatus and plasma MCP-1 levels are associated with antibody response to seasonal influenza vaccine across age and sex
Our identification of significant relationships between easily quantifiable immune markers and HAI responses to influenza A vaccine strains across sex and age enhances our knowledge of specific links between immune aging and influenza vaccine-induced immunity. These markers could be leveraged for predicting response to influenza immunization.
