Aging Exacerbates Restraint Stress-Induced Inhibition of Antigen-Specific Antibody Production in Mice

Background: We have recently found that exposure to acute restraint stress suppresses antigen-specific antibody production, including IgE, in a murine model of allergic rhinitis. Although age-related alterations in immune responses are known, it remains unclear whether aging modulates the antibody p...
