A cell-based transduction inhibition assay (TI) is widely used in clinical trials to detect neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers against recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV), one of the most important criteria to exclude patients in gene therapy. Different cell lines are used in cell-based TI because the rAAV transduction efficiencies vary largely among serotypes. A cell line suitable for TI for most serotypes is highly desirable, especially for those with very low transduction efficiencies such as rAAV8 and rAAV9.

Aging is associated with inflammaging, a persistent low-grade inflammatory state in which CD4 T cells play a role. However, there are few studies that have been done on the CD4 T cell subsets in centenarians.
