An army of flu-fighting immune cells lives on in the nose long after infection.

T cells are central to adaptive immunity, orchestrating targeted responses against infections and malignancies while forming a durable immunological memory. Memory T cells, particularly CD8+ subsets, ...

Memory T cell therapy improves infection clearance after transplant, with 60% remission and strong safety outcomes in early ...

For most people infected with Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), the illness is over in a few weeks, marked by a febrile illness, rash, and joint and muscle pain. But for as many as 60% of patients, the virus ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster ...

Pre-wired ability in ‘resting’ T cells to remember past viral foes discovered, a promising breakthrough for targeted cancer therapies. A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts ...

The generation of durable CD8+ T cell memory following infection or vaccination is essential for protection against future encounters with the same or related pathogens. This process has traditionally ...

A study reveals epigenetic priming allows memory T cells to respond faster, with transcription factor networks maintaining ...

Measles can induce immune amnesia, a phenomenon that eliminates acquired immunity to other infectious diseases.

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a possible way to make longer ...
