Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Virology

Background:

  • Traditional T cell assays for influenza (lymphoproliferation, 51Cr-release) are labor-intensive and provide limited qualitative data.
  • These methods hinder detailed analysis of cellular immune responses to influenza infection and vaccination in humans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and highlight modern, quantitative methods for assessing T cell responses to influenza.
  • To address the limitations of traditional assays in dissecting human immune responses.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing newer techniques such as single-cell cytokine detection.
  • Employing tetrameric MHC-peptide complex binding assays for antigen-specific T cells.

Main Results:

  • Modern assays enable measurement of absolute frequencies of functional antigen-specific T cells.
