In our latest study in @cp-immunity.bsky.social, we followed dynamics of vaccine-specific Tfh cells for 60+ weeks after immunization. authors.elsevier.com/a/1m3mV3qNrU... We captured >500,000 CD4 T cells including >36,000 vaccine-specific Tfh by scRNAseq, giving an unprecedented longitudinal detail.

CD7 regulates the persistence of terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells during chronic infection @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports... @bcmhouston.bsky.social
Great new work from Will Hudson’s lab at @bcmhouston.bsky.social on the role of CD7 during CD8 T cell exhaustion! tinyurl.com/3c5mdyzr hudsonlaboratory.com @cp-cellreports.bsky.social
CD7 regulates the persistence of terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells during chronic infection
Hyslop et al. identify CD7 as a tissue-specific receptor essential for maintaining terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells during chronic infection. CD7 is highly expressed on a CD101+Tim3low liver-resident...

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We are looking to hire post-docs to work on T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection using murine and NHP models. If you know T cells and wanna work on the top global infectious killer check us out. BSL3 experience not required. The NIH intramural program in Bethesda MD is an amazing place!
I’m pleased to share my latest work, published in Science Advances. In this study, we investigated how fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) that populate the white pulp of the spleen regulate immune responses to viral infections. #immunology #immunosky www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Splenic fibroblastic reticular cells orchestrate dendritic cell maturation and facilitate CD8+ T cell priming and protective memory
Fibroblastic reticular cells of the spleen coordinate inflammation for optimal antiviral T cell responses and protective memory.

One of our obsessions in the Crotty lab is to better understand B-cell immunology in the context of vaccines. Rare B cells can have antibody specificities particularly important for protection against some diseases. In our most recent paper… @cp-immunity.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/ful...
Diverse priming outcomes under conditions of very rare precursor B cells
B cells that give rise to neutralizing antibody responses can be extremely rare in the naive B cell repertoire. Madden et al. show that delivery strategy and adjuvant selection affect the recruitment ...

Very excited our work out in @jem.org “Transient inhibition of type I interferon enhances CD8+ T cell stemness and vaccine protection” @wehi-research.bsky.social led by talented (and determined) PhD student @benjbroom.bsky.social Thread below.
@benjbroom.bsky.social et al. @groomlab.bsky.social show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation & cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells rupress.org/jem/article/...

My wife and I were postbac IRTAs 25 years ago. Neither would have pursued a career in research if not for this program We have PhD students in Yale Immunobiology now who also came from this NIH program including (one amazing student in my lab) This is a valuable program and has been for decades.
One of the many, many “pauses” and cancellations devastating our next generation of researchers. “The NIH Intramural Program has paused the recruitment of IRTAs, CRTAs, and Visiting Fellows in all training programs pending guidance from Health and Human Services. Check back daily for updates.”
