| Abstract: | Infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a ubiquitously distributed herpesvirus, has been associated with human immune system aging. Especially total HCMV specific IgG antibody (AB) titres have been correlated with human frailty and mortality. The aim of this study was to further assess to which extent HCMV specific subclass AB titres differ between individuals and whether this is associated with age and gender. |
