Age-related changes affect neutrophil function, especially antimicrobial activity, so neutrophils may become more pathological. After infiltration into tissue, equipped several strategies reduce number antigens. Phagocytosis ability engulf kill microbes, but phagocytosis weakened elderly. affecting neutrophils, macrophages, T cells appear promote pathogenic immune responses contribute aging individuals. Proper regulation host response critical maintaining health. This paper aims describe process its relation conditions.
