New findings reveal that obesity significantly impaired the quality and longevity of antibody responses to a Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine in a mouse model. The impaired antibody production was due ...

A new study from the University of Gothenburg may help guide the development of better influenza vaccines. Memory cells in ...

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

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

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, ...

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

A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has turned what we know about T-cells, one of the most important parts of the body's immune system, on its head, opening the door to ...

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 ...

Prostate cancer has long frustrated immunologists. Checkpoint inhibitors that unleash the immune system against tumors in the ...

During vaccination, the immune system is purposefully exposed to weakened, inactivated, or a component of pathogens so that the body can recognize their molecular structures in the future and mount a ...

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 ...
