Researchers evaluated two experimental Zika virus vaccines to understand the roles of antibodies and T cells, discovering that long-term viral protection requires a coordinated immune response from both components rather than relying on T cells alone.

First proper #immunology lecture today, felt smart for being able to hold a discussion on immunology topics with the teacher during the lecture
INCLUDING being able to follow his trip into V(D)J recombination, which I got a hint might've melted the brains of some other students present. But I've been stuck yet defiant on this difficult topic before, so I've already plunged through that mess and was ready

Researchers have discovered that the internal nucleocapsid protein (NP) of the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) can serve as a viable target for protective antibodies, offering a new pathway for therapeutics against the disease.

Strictly speaking, calling Moderna’s mRNA cancer neoantigen vaccines “personalized” is an immunological oxymoron when they are combined with a PD-1 inhibitor like Keytruda which broadly removes inhibitory brakes on T cells.

Genetic analysis of individual immune cells of approximately 1,000 people of European ancestry (57% women) found approximately 1,000 genetic switches controlling the immune system that differed between men and women. These were not all on the sex chromosomes. This may explain why women better resist viral infections but are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases.

Voluntary attention regulates acute immune responses in humans | Nature Human Behavior
A study by Israeli neuroscientists from Bar-Ilan University has demonstrated that consciously focusing attention on a site of inflammation helps the body better regulate the immune response.
The scientists conducted a series of experiments with 57 healthy volunteers using a standard histamine skin test.
The results were striking: although subjective discomfort increased with focused attention, the immune response itself was significantly better regulated. The average swelling size during focused attention was 3.5 millimeters versus 5.0 millimeters during distraction, and the area of redness decreased from 14.0 to 10.6 millimeters. Nearly 90% of subjects experienced 1.5-1.6 times greater inflammation during distraction. Furthermore, after 20 minutes, the swelling stabilized or decreased in most participants who focused on the sensations, compared to only 46% of those who were distracted.

SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Immune cells flood into the aging brain, Stanford scientists discover
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260814011033.htm
Scientists have discovered that the aging human brain may be far less isolated from the rest of the body than once believed. Stanford researchers found that large numbers of immune cells from the blood begin entering the brain as early as middle age, where they can transform into microglia, the brain’s specialized immune cells. The finding overturns a long-standing assumption that these cells remain largely separate from the body’s immune system throughout life.

The Human Protein Atlas - Tissue entry for huntingtin states that it has cytoplasmic expression in most tissues:
https://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000197386-HTT/tissueWe know about it because of its role in Huntington disease - a disease that is thought of as being primarily neurological, and is treated by neurologists. However, Huntington disease is a multi-system disorder. Non-CNS pathology includes skeletal muscle atrophy, cardiomyopathy, severe weight loss with altered metabolism, testicular degeneration, and immune cell dysfunction affecting peripheral organs.

Receiving the shingles vaccine to prevent the reactivation of the Varicella zoster virus is associated with a significantly reduced risk of developing dementia in older adults. An epidemiological study observed up to a 24% lower risk of dementia over four years among vaccinated nursing home residents.

Corals exposed to sub-lethal or inactive doses of a disease-causing pathogen develop resistance to future infections, a process known as pathogen priming. This mechanism functions similarly to a vaccine, preparing the organism to recognize and combat subsequent pathogenic threats.
