Sentences with phrase «immunologic memory»

An international group of researchers led by Professor Christoph Hess from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel have now found a structure that accounts for the rapid immunologic memory of particular immune cells (CD8 + memory T cells): these important memory cells form multiple connections between mitochondria — the powerhouses of cells — and the endoplasmic reticulum, the site of protein production.

Vaccines produce immunologic memory; however, circulating vaccine - specific antibodies and immune cells in horses can drop in concentration after a few months.

Annual core vaccinations help provide protection through immunologic memory, the body's immune response against an infectious pathogen, which allows the horse's body to react more quickly after the immune system has been primed with an initial series of vaccines.

That recommendation was based on a general knowledge of vaccinal immunity, especially the importance of immunologic memory and on duration of protection after natural sub clinical or clinical infections as well as on limited studies we had performed with certain canine and feline vaccines.

Successful vaccination to most bacterial pathogens produces an immunologic memory that remains for years, allowing an animal to develop a protective anamnestic (secondary) response when exposed to virulent organisms.
