Uneven T cell division linked to better vaccine responses
People in an influenza vaccine trial had better responses when their dividing T cells shared cellular recycling machinery more unequally.People in an influenza vaccine trial had better responses when their dividing T cells shared cellular recycling machinery more unequally.
Cohort · 12 peopleImmune response
Who was studied12 influenza vaccine recipients, 182 days, against low vaccine responders
What changedUneven T cell division was more frequent in strong influenza vaccine responders than in weak responders
The catchT cell subset differences can affect division asymmetry; vaccine samples lacked subset-specific analyses
