The recognition of peptide-MHC (pMHC) complexes by T cells is the cornerstone of cellular immunity, enabling the elimination of infected or tumoral cells. pMHC can thus be leveraged as a detection tool for T cells.
Stanford researchers have developed a multi-omics method for predicting the strength and durability of immune responses to vaccines shortly after vaccination. The COVID-19 pandemic was a grave demonstration of the threat pandemics pose to global public health.
Stanford researchers have developed a method that not only detects B- and T-cell cancers but also is sufficiently sensitive to detect residual cancer in patients.
