Abstract
The invention provides diagnostic markers of immunosenescence and methods of identifying individuals with impaired immune function based on the expression level of a combination of such markers in a biological sample obtained from said individual. Such combination of markers is useful for determining the susceptibility to nosocomial infections of an individual. Such combination of markers is also useful for predicting whether an individual will respond to active vaccination and become protected against recurring diseases.
