For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Understanding the interplay between T cells and B cells is pivotal to delineating both protective immunity and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Central to this dynamic are specialised CD4⁺ T ...

T-bet expression is required for persistence of memory B cells that have rapid differentiation potential to become antibody-producing plasma cells in response to a second infection BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody ...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center scientists have discovered a novel subset of cancer-fighting immune cells that reside outside of their normal neighborhood – ...

Getting measles doesn’t confer benefits on the immune system — in fact, it’s just the opposite. Even a mild case of measles destroys the memory cells that confer resistance on bugs the patient has ...

Researchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine have recently found that a certain protein may have a large influence on how the immune system functions. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

A research team has developed an AI-based personalized cancer vaccine design technology that enables long-term immunity that ...

Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are congenital vascular anomalies characterized by abnormal lymphatic development, leading to ...

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 ...
