Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Cosgrove, C., Florida-James, G. D., Whyte, G. P., Pircher, H., & Guy, K. (2007). High-Intensity Exercise Mobilises Senescent T-lymphocytes into the Peripheral Blood Compartment in Young and Old Subjects: 781. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 39(Supplement), S61. https://doi.org/10.1249/01.mss.0000273140.61651.0b

T-cell senescence occurs during aging as a consequence of chromosome telomere shortening in response to repetitive antigenic stimulation. Senescent T-lymphocytes normally exhibit a “memory” phenotype (i.e. CD62L-/CD45RA-/CD45RO+) and express CD57 and...
