In our latest study in @cp-immunity.bsky.social, we followed dynamics of vaccine-specific Tfh cells for 60+ weeks after immunization. authors.elsevier.com/a/1m3mV3qNrU... We captured >500,000 CD4 T cells including >36,000 vaccine-specific Tfh by scRNAseq, giving an unprecedented longitudinal detail.

CD7 regulates the persistence of terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells during chronic infection @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports... @bcmhouston.bsky.social

Great new work from Will Hudson’s lab at @bcmhouston.bsky.social on the role of CD7 during CD8 T cell exhaustion! tinyurl.com/3c5mdyzr hudsonlaboratory.com @cp-cellreports.bsky.social

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We are looking to hire post-docs to work on T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection using murine and NHP models. If you know T cells and wanna work on the top global infectious killer check us out. BSL3 experience not required. The NIH intramural program in Bethesda MD is an amazing place!

I’m pleased to share my latest work, published in Science Advances. In this study, we investigated how fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) that populate the white pulp of the spleen regulate immune responses to viral infections. #immunology #immunosky www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

One of our obsessions in the Crotty lab is to better understand B-cell immunology in the context of vaccines. Rare B cells can have antibody specificities particularly important for protection against some diseases. In our most recent paper… @cp-immunity.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

Fantastic talk and beautiful story from Maria Cardenas and @haydnkissick.bsky.social lab! Hosted by @openboxscience.bsky.social youtu.be/rC69rAz6OeE

Very excited our work out in @jem.org “Transient inhibition of type I interferon enhances CD8+ T cell stemness and vaccine protection” @wehi-research.bsky.social led by talented (and determined) PhD student @benjbroom.bsky.social Thread below.

Excellent Info Graphic. Share everywhere!

Using PAXgene as an alternative tissue preservative for spatial transcriptomics with #Xenium @10xgenomics.bsky.social - An insane amount of work and a very methodical investigation

My wife and I were postbac IRTAs 25 years ago. Neither would have pursued a career in research if not for this program We have PhD students in Yale Immunobiology now who also came from this NIH program including (one amazing student in my lab) This is a valuable program and has been for decades.

I’m excited to share our lab’s new preprint! We find that some exhausted T cell clones maintain the capacity form functional memory cells: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/ 🧵

Excited for our lab's FIRST paper #ScienceImmunology! 🎉 Led by @categraca.bsky.social & Amania Sheikh, with amazing collabs from Axel Kallies, Dane Newman, & @rickyjohnstone.bsky.social Huge thanks to reviewers & @claireolingy.bsky.social 🙌 #Tpex #onthescoreboard www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Super excited to announce that the Joag Lab will officially open at @UW, @SCRI in March 2025! We will study the interplay between memory T cells and stromal, humoral, and innate immunity in mucosal tissues. researcherprofiles.seattlechildrens.org/Vineet.Joag. Hiring a technician and a postdoc!

Excited to share my PhD work from Rafi Ahmed’s lab, now published in @nature.com. We show how CD8 T cells overcome the inability to predict how long a viral infection will last by making adaptable precursor cells a priori—an elegant strategy for a non-prescient immune system! tinyurl.com/53nrpsa6

Two beautiful stories out this month in Nature (Jan8, 2025) about the enigmatic decision making of stem cell like CD8+ T cells from Rafi and Dietmar's labs. Have a look! www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Two studies published in @nature.com today showing that Tpex-like cells develop independent from acute or chronic infection #Tpex www.nature.com/articles/s41...
