CD31(+)CD45RA(+)RC(-) lymphocytes contain high numbers of T cell receptor circle (TREC)-bearing T cells; however, the correlation between CD31(+)CD4(+) lymphocytes and TREC during aging and under lymphopenic conditions has not yet been sufficiently investigated. We analyzed TREC, telomere length and telomerase activity within sorted CD31(+) and CD31(-) CD4(+) lymphocytes in healthy individuals from birth to old age. Sorted CD31(+)CD45RA(+)RO(-) naive CD4+ lymphocytes contained high TREC numbers, whereas CD31(+)CD45RA(-)RO(+) cells (comprising
