Study points to long-lived lung B cells as key to stronger flu defense
Every flu season, injectable vaccines prime the immune system to produce antibodies that circulate through the bloodstream.
However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...
At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody ...

Taking a closer look at immune 'memory' could spur progress in the fight against lethal illnesses
The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other threats. Vaccines enhance this security system by teaching our immune cells ...
