Our new paper is out on @medrxivpreprint!

How does the immune system need to respond in order to make strong antibody responses to vaccination?

See thread below👇 for a summary of what we found.

@CCSMonash @ImmunologyMU 1) In 2 cohorts of UK adults, we studied 53 immune variables before and after seasonal #Influenza vaccination; including antibodies, cytokines, B cells & CD4+ T cells.
Importantly, using tetramers we could track vaccine-specific CD4+ T cells, which expanded beautifully after vax!
