The human "immunotype" is shaped by a complex interplay of heritable and non-heritable factors:
Factors such as cohabitation, smoking, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection significantly alter immune composition. CMV alone can affect over 50% of immune parameters in an individual. Determining the expected variability of immune ...
Determining the expected variability of immune cell populations is a foundational step in defining a "healthy" immune baseline and identifying clinically relevant anomalies. Research indicates that while an individual's immune profile is remarkably stable over time, there is massive —often spanning several orders of magnitude—among healthy people. Core Drivers of Immune Variability The human "immunotype" is shaped by a complex
B cell subsets and certain antibodies like IgG1 show significant fluctuations based on the time of year. Determining the expected variability of immune ...
