Background. Vaccine-induced memory B-cell (MBC) subsets have distinct roles in the establishment of protective immunity; MBCs expressing nonswitched immunoglobulin M (IgM+ MBCs) replenish the MBC pool ...

A key transcription factor in T-cell immunology is crucial to the immune system's "memory" in recognizing threats it has already faced before – and it may be possible to improve this immunological ...

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 ...

Microscopy images of antigen-inexperienced (‘naïve’) mouse CD8 T cells (green). A subset of these cells expresses Dapl1 protein (red), identifying a population committed to a memory stem-like lineage.

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 ...

While the brain and spinal cord have their own squad of specialized immune cells, the peripheral immune system is armed with a larger battalion of proteins, cells and entire organs, such as the spleen ...

Dr. Gil Mor discusses sex-specific placental responses and long-term immune alterations from prenatal virus exposure.
