The cellular composition of the human immune system is shaped by age and cohabitation
Detailed population-level description of the human immune system has recently become achievable. We used a “systems-level” approach to establish a resource of cellular immune profiles of 670 healthy individuals. We report a high level of inter-individual variation, with low longitudinal variation, a...

description | Detailed population-level description of the human immune system has recently become achievable. We used a “systems-level” approach to establish a resource of cellular immune profiles of 670 healthy individuals. We report a high level of inter-individual variation, with low longitudinal variation, at the level of cellular subset composition of the immune system. Despite the profound effects of antigen exposure on individual antigen-specific clones, the cellular subset structure proved highly elastic, with transient vaccination-induced changes being followed by a return to the unique baseline of the individual. Strikingly, the largest influence on immunological variation identified was cohabitation, with a 50% reduction in immunological variation between individuals who share an environment (parents) compared to the wider population. These results identify local environmental conditions are a key shaper of the human immune system. |
