The aim of the study was to investigate whether normal aging lea. ds 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.

**Methods**
### 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
