SARS-CoV-2 antigen exposure history shapes phenotypes and specificity of memory CD8 T cells
- A. MinervinaM. Pogorelyy K. Whitt
- 16 July 2021
Medicine
Compared responses after infection or vaccination, it is found that T cells responding to spike-derived epitopes show similar magnitudes of response, memory phenotypes, TCR repertoire diversity, and {beta}TCR sequence motifs, demonstrating the potency of this vaccination platform.
Lung &ggr;&dgr; T Cells Mediate Protective Responses during Neonatal Influenza Infection that Are Associated with Type 2 Immunity
- Xi-zhi J. GuoP. Dash P. Thomas
- 1 September 2018
Medicine, Biology
The results indicate that T cells are required in influenza‐infected neonates to initiate protective immunity and mediate lung homeostasis and IL‐17A correlates with improved disease outcomes in influenza-infected children.
Responses to Wildfire and Prescribed Fire Smoke: A Survey of a Medically Vulnerable Adult Population in the Wildland-Urban Interface, Mariposa County, California
- S. HoshikoJ. R. Buckman A. Rappold
- 1 January 2023
Environmental Science, Medicine
As California expands use of prescribed fire, the need for effective health protective communication regarding smoke is increasingly vital, and it is recommended to seek solutions that strengthen community resilience and address equity for vulnerable populations.
On using expert opinion in ecological analyses: a frequentist approach
It is argued that it is easier to elicit data than to elicit a prior, which can then be used to supplement the hard, observed data to possibly improve precision of statistical analyses and lead to a natural definition of what constitutes a useful expert.
Vernix Caseosa in Neonatal Adaptation
- M. VisscherV. Narendran S. Hoath
- 1 July 2005
Medicine
Vernix is a naturally occurring barrier cream with multiple salubrious effects, which support its retention on the skin surface at birth, and it is found that skin hydration was significantly higher for vernix-retained skin and vitamin E levels were decreased by ultraviolet radiation.
