Abstract:
The exact pathogenesis of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is unknown. Reports on response to vaccination in children who had MIS-C are lacking. Using prospectively enrolled children, we report on humoral immune responses prior to and after SARS-CoV-2 immune rechallenge. Recurrent auricular chondritis was also noted in one child.

Immunological Memory
What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

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...
