Immune responses are largely memorized by terminally differentiated memory T cells, but the precise mechanism by which a relatively small number of cells can memorize a vast number of antigens has ...

It is generally thought that naive CD4 + T cells proliferate following an encounter with microbial antigen, then differentiate into memory cells that produce anti-microbial lymphokines. Following the ...

Three doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination induce long-lasting antibody and memory B-cell responses, according to a study of ...

Among the SLAM-expressing cells that measles wrecks are memory B and T cells, two crucial players in a functioning immune system. Memory B cells manufacture the right antibodies quickly when a ...

Memory T cells formed after BA.2 Omicron breakthrough infection showed a strong immune response not only against BA.2 but also later Omicron variants including BA.4/BA.5, XBB, and others.

Measles doesn’t just cause illness, but also erases the immune system’s memory, leaving people vulnerable to infections ...

known as B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. People commonly refer to these as B cells and T cells. The job of T cells is to help the body kill cancer cells and control the immune response to foreign ...

While naïve T cells lacked the disease-fighting imprinting of memory cells, they became more effective when RUNX2 was added. They also lived longer and the gene protected them against exhaustion ...

T cells are white blood cells that are important for adaptive immunity. They have unique cell surface receptors that are generated by randomly assorting genes. These receptors allow T cells to ...
