The vaccines’ effect on inflammation-promoting cells might help to explain why the jabs protect against severe disease.

In the midst of pandemic upheaval, researchers have gained fundamental insights about how the body fends off infections.

Researchers used computer modeling to predict which components of cigarette smoke might be recognized by antigen-presenting molecule MR1.

The study revealed that a gene common in some bats can reduce the production of the SARS-CoV-2 virus by up to 90%, which could help lead to new medical approaches to combating viral diseases.

New research has identified crucial components and mechanisms of the plant immune system, potentially helping to develop ...

A team of international researchers led by scientists at City of Hope have demonstrated a way to boost thymic function after ...

Researchers can use humanized immune system (HIS) mice that have been engrafted with functional human immune system components to directly analyze the development and function of the human immune ...

We propose that the body could be exposed to DNA from bacteria, a key autoantigen in the autoimmune disease lupus, if these components of the intestinal immune system fail," said Professor Jo Spencer.

From the perspective of viruses spread by insects, or arboviruses, making the evolutionary leap from insects to humans is a tough battle. Viruses cannot replicate very well in humans, which means ...

The core components of CRISPR-based genome-editing ... to mask them from the immune system. The team identified protein sequences on each nuclease that trigger the immune system and used ...

A new advance may make it possible to use off-the-shelf CAR T cells provided by healthy donors. The new approach studied in mice equipped CAR T cells with the viral protein Nef.
