Expression of IL-15Rα, IL-2/15Rβ, and IL-21R by EM and EMCD45RA+ IL-7Rαhigh and IL-7Rαlow CD8+ T cells in elderly and young subjects. PBMCs from healthy elderly and young subjects were stained with antibodies to CD8, CCR7, CD45RA, IL-7Rα, IL-15Rα, IL-2/15Rβ, IL-21R, or isotype antibodies. The expression of IL-15Rα (A), IL-2/15Rβ (B), and IL-21R (C) was determined by gating on IL-7Rαhigh and IL-7Rαlow cells in EM and EMCD45RA+ CD8+ T-cell subsets. Results are representative data from 4 separate subjects in each group.
