<small>The aim of the study was to investigate whether normal aging leads to blood cells being produced from fewer cell clones. This was examined by comparing which X chromosome the cells were using between different age groups and between neutrophils and T cells.</small>
<small>In other words, they studied human hematopoiesis acros s age by analyzing purified blood cell lineages from the subjects.</small>

## Study
- 197 hematologically normal females
- 23 newborn - taken during delivery
- 94 young adult - age: 17-50 median 30
- 80 eldery - age: 75-96 median 81
- purified neutrofils
- purified T-cells
----
### Methods
1. <small>Peripheral blood samples were collected</small>
2. <small>Neutrophils and T cells were isolated using cell separation techniques _(centrifugation followed by lineage-specific purification)_</small>
3. <small>X-chromosome inactivation was analyzed using the HUMARA PCR assay _(PCR-based measurement of which X chromosome is active)_</small>
4. <small>T cells were analyzed by PCR to check for clonal expansion _(T-cell receptor γ gene rearrangement analysis)_</small >

The aim of the study was to investigate whether normal aging leads to blood cells being produced from fewer cell clones. This was examined by comparing which X chromosome the cells were using between different age groups and between neutrophils and T cells.
In other words, they studied human hematopoiesis across age by analyzing purified blood cell lineages from the subjects.

## Study
- 1 97 hematologically normal females
- 23 newborn
- 94 young adult (median 30)
- 80 eldery (over 75)
- purified neutrofils
- purified T-cells

### Metoder
1. Peripheral blood samples were collected
2. Neutrophils and T cells were isolated using cell separation techniques _(centrifugation followed by lineage-specific purification)_
3. X-chromosome inactivation was analyzed using the HUMARA PCR assay _(PCR-based measurement of which X chromosome is active)_
4. T cells were analyzed by PCR to check for clonal expansion _(T-cell receptor γ gene rearrangement analysis)_
---
### Results
1. X chromosome usage is similar in newborns and young adults.
2. Neutrophils from elderly female individuals show strongly uneven X chromosome usage.
3. T-cells show much less uneven X chromosome usage and no dominant clonal expansion

### Cord blood neutrophils

<small>
- Graph shows the distribution of X chromosome usage in 23 newborn
- X-axis: % of cells using the less common X chromosome.
- Y-axis: number of individuals in each group.
Conclusion: Newborns mostly show balanced use of the two X chromosomes

### > 75 years neutrophils
![[image-184.png|145x158]]
<small>
- This graph shows the purified neutrofils from 80 elderly (y >= 75) females
- X and Y axis is the same as in previous graph
Conclusion: Elderly neutrophils frequently show strongly uneven X chromosome usage.
