Cross-Reactive T Cells Could Point to Broad Vaccines or Treatments for Measles, Nipah Virus

T cells are some of the immune system’s most important fighters. They can stop tumor growth and fight off severe infections. Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have now reported a ...

Preserved measles immunity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a cohort of mainly αβ T-cell-depleted graft recipients

Present study evaluated preserved measles immunity 24 months post-HSCT in a large cohort of αβ T-cell-depleted HSCT recipients. HSCT recipients aged ≥18 years at the Hematology department of the ...

Harnessing pre-existing measles immunity: mRNA-Lipid nanoparticle-mediated measles hemagglutinin expression boosts antitumor CD8⁺ T cell responses

To validate this approach, LNPs encapsulating mRNA encoding the measles virus H protein (LNP H) and, as a control, LNPs encapsulating luciferase mRNA (LNP Luc) were prepared and characterized. Both ...
