| Annotation | People with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been noted to have an increased number of infections and a possible change in immune system functions has been suggested. This study analysed immune cell subtypes in people with Alzheimer's disease compared to age matched nondemented (ND) control subjects. The authors analysed the number and proportion of total T cells (CD3), T Helper cells (TD4), T suppressor cells (CD8) B cells (CD19) and Natural Killer cells (CD56) in the peripheral blood of eleven patients with AD and 6 controls. A statistically significant decrease in the number of B cells (CD19) was identified in those with AD. (RH). |
