Immunological memory refers to the ability of our immune system to remember and recognize a specific disease or infection that it has encountered before. It helps our body respond faster and more effectively to fight off the same disease in the future, providing stronger protection. It is like our immune system keeping a blueprint of the disease it has fought, so it can quickly defend us if we encounter it again.

Other study10 findings suggest that deep sleep plays a very special role in strengthening
immunological memories of previously encountered pathogens in a way similar to psychological long - term memory retention.
Persistence of antibody after vaccination will often be only a few months and
immunological memory for protective immunity is short (e.g. 1 year or less).
What's more, unlike a vaccine, which builds long - lasting
immunological memory against a pathogen, the designer antibody approach depends on the viral vector persisting and continuing to pump out the immunoadhesins.
Immunological memory provides durations of immunity for core infectious diseases that far exceed the traditional recommendations for annual vaccination.»
Even so, we understand less about
how immunological memory protects us there than we do about protection in the rest of the body.
DCs are also involved in
generating immunological memory and in inducing tolerance, where the immune response is silenced to prevent dangerous autoimmunity.
In addition, Dr. Marrack is studying how alum
improves immunological memory and whether Bcl - 2 proteins, which affect a cell's lifecycle, are involved.
Misunderstanding, misinformation and the conservative nature of our profession have largely slowed adoption of protocols advocating decreased frequency of vaccination»; «
Immunological memory provides durations of immunity for core infectious diseases that far exceed the traditional recommendations for annual vaccination.
Nearly all T cell clones produced memory cells, which suggests that breadth is probably an important component of
immunological memory.
Meanwhile, each mouse retained
an immunological memory of the tumor it had vanquished, which curbed recurrence.
«
An immunological memory in the brain.»
Immunological memory is the secret to human protection against various diseases and the success of vaccines.
In a mouse model of Alzheimer's pathology, the scientists observed that trained microglia amplified the formation of plaques even months after
their immunological memory had been triggered, thus causing the disease to become more severe.
We therefore asked ourselves whether
an immunological memory in these long - lived microglia could be communicating this risk,» explains Dr. Jonas Neher, head of the current study and a scientist at the DZNE and the HIH.
The brain's
immunological memory — epigenetically modified microglia — is one possible explanation for this effect.
Inflammatory reactions can change the brain's immune cells in the long term — meaning that these cells have an «
immunological memory».
When people develop a respiratory infection, recovery from their illness leaves behind
an immunological memory that influences how they will respond to later infections.
«Normally one has to wait for several months or years before knowing for sure if the vaccination has led to
the immunological memory necessary for immune protection.
They say more studies are needed to determine how the grandmother's
immunological memory is transferred across two generations.
If this is the case, a team of scientists from the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Sciences in Paris reasoned, individuals may be inheriting
some immunological memory not just from their mothers, but from all their maternal ancestors: A grandmother's immune system educates the mother's, and those modifications are preserved as the mother then instructs the third generation.
It was previously believed that so - called natural killer cells did not have
an immunological memory for the body's own tissues.
They are a precursor form of T cells and form the basis for
immunological memory.
This, according to authors, indicates a certain level of «
immunological memory» among their antibody - producing cells — a carry over from the previous vaccine.
To analyse the molecular determinants that control gene expression during T cell differentiation and the generation of
immunological memory.
Most humans are naturally exposed to AAV - 2 together with a helper virus and thus have
immunological memory to AAV - 2.
Researchers at Emory have been revealing several connections between cellsâ $ ™ responses to starvation and
immunological memory.
Feline coronavirus appears to be a disease that a cat can become infected with more than once — so
its immunological memory of the virus must be poor (unless each infection is with a different strain).
The host is also unable to develop
an immunological memory against the gonococci — which means that future reinfection is possible.
