In fifty-four healthy individuals aged from 22 to 53 the response of lymphocytes to PHA stimulation and to stimulation with allogeneic lymphocytes were determined. A linear age-related decrease in reactivity to PHA (r = 0.500, P less than 0.01), as well as to allogeneic stimulation (r = 0.351, P less than 0.01) was found. The correlation between these two parameters of T lymphocyte function was weak (r = 0.207, not significant).
