Stress-associated immune responses were compared between young (8 weeks of age) and
old (56 weeks) mice. Since stress suppresses the conventional immune system (ie T and B
cells) but inversely activates the primordial immune system (ie extrathymic T cells, NKT cells,
and granulocytes), these parameters were analysed after restraint stress for 24 h. The
thymus became atrophic as a function of age, and an age-related increase in the number of
lymphocytes was seen in the liver. Although the number of lymphocytes in both the thymus …
