Enhanced immunity in slowly aging mutant mice with high mitochondrial oxidative stress

The mitochondria of slowly aging Mclk1+/− mutant mice produce high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These animals display enhanced immune reactivity in response to lipopolysaccharide, Salmonella, and tumor-cell grafts, experience limited damage from these treatments and are partially protect...
