Abstract:
Irene Ramos works in the field of immunology to viral infections. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how "Global analyses of human immune variation reveal baseline predictors of postvaccination responses" by Tsang et al. (Cell 157:499-513, 2014, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2014.03.031) and "A crowdsourced analysis to identify ab initio molecular signatures predictive of susceptibility to viral infection" by Fourati et al. (Nat Commun 9:4418, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-06735-8) made an impact on her by highlighting the importance of data science methods to understand virus-host interactions.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
