Summary of findings. Immune function is severely impaired in aged animals after sepsis, which is associated with increased T cell apoptosis, elevation in the Treg population, upregulation of the immune inhibitory signal, and downregulation of the immune initiating molecule HLA-DR. Combined treatment with human Ghr and GH reverses these changes in septic aged animals to restore immune function.
