- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 疫苗学 疫苗学 疫苗学
- 时间生物学 时间生物学
背景情况:
- 细菌卡尔梅特 - 格林 (BCG) 疫苗诱导训练免疫力,增强先天免疫反应.
- 众所周知,季节性变化会影响先天免疫力,但它们对BCG诱导的训练免疫力的影响仍然未被探索.
研究的目的:
- 调查疫苗接种季节 (冬季与春季) 对BCG诱导的训练免疫的影响.
- 分析BCG接种后免疫细胞中的ex vivo细胞因子反应,基因表达和表观遗传特征.
主要方法:
- 健康的志愿者在冬季或春季接受BCG疫苗接种.
- 接种疫苗后三个月,对外围血液单核细胞 (PBMC) 和NK细胞进行了分析,以检测细胞因子的产生,基因表达和表观遗传修饰.
- 反应与基线和疫苗接种组之间的反应进行了比较.
主要成果:
- 与春季疫苗接种相比,冬季BCG疫苗接种在PBMC中诱导了更强的促炎细胞因子反应.
- 来自冬季接种疫苗的人的NK细胞显示出增强的促炎性细胞因子和IFNγ生产能力.
- 在单细胞和NK细胞中发现了依赖季节的表观遗传变化,与冬季组中免疫细胞反应性增强相关.
结论:
- 冬季的BCG疫苗接种促进了比春季疫苗接种更强大的训练免疫反应.

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...

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
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...
