Once Upon a Time: an RNA vaccine! How does the #vaccine work, and what happens if the #coronavirus tries to attack a vaccinated person? @helsinkiuni @HelsinkiOne @LifeSciHelsinki PDF: bit.ly/coronavacc #COVID19 #COVID19Vaccine #SARSCoV2 ImageImage
For a bit more #immunology: Once Upon a Time - #immunity! How does our marvellous adaptive #immune system work? @helsinkiuni @HelsinkiOne @LifeSciHelsinki PDF: bit.ly/comic_immunity ImageImage
Small (but important) correction to Immunity Episode One! The T cells in this story actually are Tim, Tanya and Tucker (not Tobias and Tiffany). They all look so similar that I always get confused! Image
Erratum (thanks for the correction!!!): apparently at least some of the vaccine mRNA goes into MUSCLE cells, which then make the virus protein, and excrete some of it out of the cell, and this is how the dendritic cells get it.

Pitänee julkaista henkkoht #COVID19-kanta, kun muuten joku panee sellaisia suuhuni. Näkökulma: biotieteilijä, 20 v immunologiaa, mutten ole lääkäri/epidemiologi/virologi. Odotan just omaa ja lapsen koronatestitulosta, ti opettamaan 76 fuksia. Läheisissä vanhuksia. (1/) #koronafi
(2/) LAUMASUOJA: In My Humble Opinion (IMHO), laumasuojaa ei ole järkeä tavoitella sairastamalla, koska immuniteetti lienee ohimenevä ja riskiryhmille tauti liian vaarallinen. Veikkaan että useimmille toinen jne tartunta aiheuttavat lievän taudin, mutta tätä emme vielä tiedä.
(3/) MASKIT: IMHO tieteellinen näyttö maskien hyödyistä on hataraa. Sitä ei kuitenkaan voi jäädä nyt odottelemaan, koska asiaa on melkein mahdoton tutkia. Maskeja luultavasti kantsii käyttää epidemia-alueilla silloin kun turvavälit eivät onnistu.
