T cells’ vital role in boosting immune responses

Drug Target Review

In the realm of immunology, researchers are constantly striving to unlock the intricate secrets of the human immune system. Among the many remarkable components that make up this complex defence network, T cells have emerged as powerful guardians, orchestrating an array of immune responses with great precision.

Scientist discover protein required for an effective immune response to invading bacteria

SCIENMAG: Medicine & Health

Key Takeaways Researchers have discovered that the NLRP11 protein plays critical roles in alerting the body to a bacterial infection and initiating an immune response against it NLRP11 is present in humans and other primates but absent in mice The discovery could enable the development of mouse models that are more similar to humans for […]

Delaying second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine produces stronger immune response

The Pharma Data

The first peer-reviewed study in North America examining the timing between the first and second doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines shows that a longer dose interval leads to a stronger immune response. The study is funded by the Government of Canada through its COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF).

Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.
