Using a range of chemical and biological methods, the researchers discovered that this social fluid contains a diverse array of chemicals, including growth -, digestion -, and immune - related proteins; nest mate recognition cues; and a juvenile hormone, important for regulating ant reproduction, development, and behavior.

Since T cells can only recognize neoantigens that are «presented» to them by HLA molecules of the immune system, a key step in making the vaccine is using computer algorithms to predict which neoantigen peptides will bind strongly to the HLA molecules for recognition by T cells.

Timothy Springer, with colleagues Michael L. Dustin and Charles A. Dinarello, identifies and characterizes adhesion molecules, a class of cell surface proteins that function in the interactions of immune cells with other cells, including antigen - specific recognition and cell trafficking: integrin LFA - 1 involved in cytoskeleton and signaling, and intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), which are binding partners (ligands) for LFA - 1 and are increased in inflammatory and autoimmune disease.

Like the bacteria that cause gonorrhea, members of T. pallidum have multiple copies of the gene coding for the proteins that allow them to adhere to human cells — perhaps, as in the case of gonorrhea, these genes allow T. pallidum to alter their surface proteins in order to escape recognition by the immune system.
