Anatomy of a ‘correlate of protection’ for T-cell vaccines
The use of proprietary vaccine constructs to prime naive CD8+ T-cells via skin dendritic cells and thus enable induction of targeted cellular immunity, establishing tissue-resident CD8+ T-memory cells, is a new vaccination strategy being explored at Emergex Vaccines. Here, Professor Thomas Rademacher, Emeritus Professor of Molecular Medicine – UCL and…
