One question was about the difference in children and adult immunity - ✔✔Possible answer: naive T
cells
Learning check question: Which differences in immunity make children and older adult patients more
susceptible to infections? Choose 2 answers
Younger patients have fewer memory cells to combat infection
Older adult patients have a dwindling population of naive T cells
Older adult patients have more memory cells to combat infection
Younger patients have a large population of naive T cells
Older adult patients have a large population of naive T cells - ✔✔Younger patients have fewer memory
cells to combat infection
Older adult patients have a dwindling population of naive T cellsRationale: younger patients have not been exposed to many pathogens, which means that they have
fewer memory cells than adults. The primary immune response is relatively weak compared to a
secondary response mediated by memory cells.
Older adult patients do not have as many T cells compared to younger patients. When these patients
encounter novel pathogens, the reduced number of naive T cells gives clonal selection fewer
opportunities to "find" T cells that will be effective.
