Reduced efficacy of an anti-toxin vaccine from senescence-driven attenuation of toxin virulence

Xin Du, Ching-Wen Tseng, Elisabet Bjånes…·George Y. Liu

This study shows that vaccine efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus alpha toxin decreases in aged mice due to reduced ADAM10 activity and myeloid cell dysfunction.
