Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

There are many kinds of T cells, and they play different parts in defending the body. Some T cells kill infected cells, ...

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, ...

COVID-19 vaccines elicit strong T-cell responses, but clonal-resolution analyses of these responses have not previously been performed. To address this gap, a team of researchers investigated the T- ...

Now Vijayanand and his colleagues have discovered the cellular driver that leads to T RM cell development. Their findings, ...

New research, led by LJI scientists, offers a potential way to boost tissue-resident memory T cell numbers to better fight disease.
