"This is why non-immunologists hate immunologists..." The fantastic @EJohnWherry explains the basics of cancer immunology with a focus on T cells in his beautiful and extremely clear lecture @AACR #AACR22. I really recommend watching it, it's a gem - both in content and delivery.

A study in @NatImmunol shows that immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 are higher in children, retained for 12 months or longer and can neutralize Alpha, Beta and Delta variants. go.nature.com/3ncWCmS

SARS-CoV-2 infection is milder in children. Dowell et al. show that immune responses are higher in children, retained for 12 months or longer and can neutralize Alpha, Beta and Delta variants. rdcu.be/cDH9v & see the Research Briefing rdcu.be/cDIcR

The contribution of T cells to the SARS-CoV-2 response remains an important and unresolved question. Moss and colleagues examine T cell and antibody kinetics in a large cohort of patients with COVID-19 and find robust and durable T cell responses rdcu.be/cgobr

What is an RNA #vaccine? 🤔 The Pfizer-BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine uses this type of technology to train the immune system Our new infographic explains how this type of vaccine works. You can download & share it to help strengthen public understanding 👉bit.ly/2VqOQHL

Cellular (T cell) immunity to #SARSCoV2 is likely to be present within most adults six months after primary infection, suggests a new pre-print released today by #UKCIC and Public Health England (@unibirmingham @PHE_uk @ManchesterCRF) uk-cic.org/news/cellular-imm… 1/🧵

Single-cell RNA-seq & Cell Atlas projects have promised to impact almost every aspect of biology and medicine. Now is the time for the community to live up to this promise! Here's a summary of >10 COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 single-cell data/studies. Please retweet & reuse data. (1/n)

Happy Wednesday twitter, hope everyone is well and staying safe! 🙏Here is a my latest #scicomm article all about how our beloved #NHSheroes test for #COVID19 and a summary of ongoing research that aims to advance the global management of this disease ✍️👇thefeministscientist.blog/20…
Anyone out there looking at CD8 and/or CD4 memory responses to SARS-CoV-2? Or found any relevant literature? Thinking about how we might be able to #cometogether and help against #COVID19 Maybe a collaborative space to share everyones ideas and efforts could help? @bsicongress
