I have to ask what knowledge you have gained from that paper?

I know my level of understanding is not enough to gain anything from it.

To be honest, it is mainly above my head, but there are more simple paragraphs at the start of each section. It was aimed at Daniel, who, being an educated man, might understand it better.

According to the article it does indeed decline with 'old age'. It doesn't define old age but seems to suggest this is somewhere between 65 and 70.

It does not answer the question 'when does my immune system begin to decline.

I wasn't questioning that your immune system declines with age, I was talking about the accretion of antibodies with lifespan.
