  • Immunity Evaluation Method, Apparatus and Program
    Publication number: 20110275109
    Abstract: An immunity evaluation method, apparatus, and program are provided that can evaluate comprehensive immunity with high precision. An immunity evaluation method for evaluating immunity from collected blood includes measuring a number of specific T cells that are CD8 positive and CD28 positive or negative in the collected blood, and determining a T lymphocyte age based on a regression equation on the basis of a correlation between a specific parameter that is dependent on the number of the specific T cells and age, and the number of specific T cells thus measured.
