I have done my PhD on T cell activation. The persistent focus of the media and even some of the science community on Antibody induced immunity was completely beyond me. T cells were largely simply ignored even though they play such a crucial role in the body’s immune response.
Antibodies seem to be a concept much easier to grasp. Maybe we should call T cells "Police Cells or "Anti-Cells" instead. You know, some marketing might help...
T cell activation is readily misunderstood even among some cell biologists. There's a lot of people in life science academia who desperately need to update their knowledge about the recent discoveries in Immunology.
Are vaccines necessary for someone who has had covid? If it was absolutely necessary to prioritise those who don’t have any immunity at all, is there a test that can help identify with that?
>The test is administered via blood draw. T-cell DNA is then extracted and sequenced with Microsoft's artificial intelligence, mapping out the immune system's "massive black box" data into navigable science, researchers say.
> We provide practical hints and tips on basic cellular and molecular techniques for handling primary human T cells. We hope that this guide will serve as a reference point to evaluate, discuss, and improve current practices in T cell culturing and manipulation.
> Killer T Cell is loud, obnoxious, and quick-tempered, resulting in rivalries with many cells. He also despises it when a non-white blood cell forms a friendship or relationship with one of his kind. As an immature thymocyte he went through training at Thymus school, where apprentice cells like himself learn to become Mature Thymocytes.
