👩‍🔬 Viral Vax Lab is looking for a post-doc! We have a junior postdoctoral position available for someone who is excited about CD4 T cells, B cells, and vaccines against infectious disease. Come join us at UniMelb and the Doherty Institute! unimelb.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/en-GB/UoM_Ex...

🎉 Our new study of CD4 TFH quality is now online @ebiomedicine.bsky.social! We know that TFH are critical for germinal centres and antibody production, but want to understand whether all CD4 responses can be equally helpful to B cells. www.thelancet.com/journals/ebi...

Immunodominance is a poor predictor of vaccine-induced T follicular helper cell quality

Our findings emphasise the importance of CD4+ T cell help for programming robust and durable humoural immunity, and provide crucial insights to guide the rational incorporation of favourable T cell ep...

Publication alert: "No evidence of immune exhaustion after repeated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in vulnerable and healthy populations" ‪@natcomms.nature.com‬ The backstory is particularly interesting-it's a tale of the conflicting needs of scientists & decision makers in times of disinformation ....1/n

No evidence of immune exhaustion after repeated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in vulnerable and healthy populations

Nature Communications - Repeated vaccination is needed to maintain high levels of SARS-CoV-2 immunity in vulnerable populations, but there is concern that it could lead to immune exhaustion. Here,...

Excited to have our latest research published in @jem.org this week and also highlighted by @natrevimmunol.nature.com @wehi-research.bsky.social @benjbroom.bsky.social

WEHI (The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research)@wehi-research.bsky.social · last yr.

Future vaccines a step closer. Research from @groomlab.bsky.social, @benjbroom.bsky.social and team use novel approach and mRNA tech to boost stem cell-like memory CD8+ T cells after vaccination. Published in @jem.org www.wehi.edu.au/news/vaccine...

Fantastic work from @labphan.bsky.social and @mlmunier.bsky.social combining mouse models and clinical studies to understand B cell recall following booster vaccination. Check out the paper and thread below! ⤵️

Happy #DayofImmunology! Congrats @ramadhenni.bsky.social & Alexandra Carey Hoppé it's out (finally!) @cp-cell.bsky.social! Incredibly grateful to co-leads @mlmunier.bsky.social, Vanessa Venturi & Tony Kelleher & all brilliant folks @garvaninstitute.bsky.social & Kirby Inst. for fantastic collab! 🧵

Happy to report that Mitchell's paper on CD4 T cells and AIM assays is now available online at Science Advances! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Thanks to all our collaborators in @viralvaxlab.bsky.social and @thedohertyinst.bsky.social, including @assocprofashhaque.bsky.social lab

Deconvoluting TCR-dependent and -independent activation is vital for reliable Ag-specific CD4+ T cell characterization by AIM assay

CXCR4 down-regulation deconvolutes TCR-independent activation in the AIM assay.

As a first #ImmunoSky post, I’m excited to share our latest pre-print, by the fantastic Mitchell Zheng! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Our group is interested in virus-specific CD4 T cells, which means we often use in vitro stimulations (like the AIM assay) to find our cells of interest. 🧵 1/9

Check out the latest from @viralvaxlab.bsky.social postdoc Wen Shi Lee, developing monoclonal antibodies that neutralise the NL63 coronavirus!

Great new story exploring how B cells can recognise glycans (and still get T cell help!) from @precisionvaxlab.bsky.social and team!

Dr Danika Hill@precisionvaxlab.bsky.social · last yr.

New preprint alert 🚨 My team and I are pleased to share our most recent story about how bacterial pathogen (Streptococcus pyogenes, Strep A) exposure induces antibody responses against glycan and protein antigens. For paper: SSRN ssrn.com/abstract=519... biorxiv : doi: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

New research in @jimmunol.bsky.social from @jenjuno.viralvaxlab.com and Dr. Hyon-Xhi Tan suggests that receiving multiple doses of a vaccine in the same limb leads to faster antibody development. Learn more: news.aai.org/2025/03/10/m.... #medsky #immunosky #idsky

New research from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social suggests that receiving multiple doses of a vaccine in the same limb leads to faster antibody development, an important strategy for providing #immunity quickly during a pandemic or disease #outbreak. #ReadTheJI #immunology ow.ly/c28N50VeRGR

Should you get the COVID mRNA and flu vaccines in the same or opposite arms? Randomised trial by Lee, Selva, et al. suggests it is preferable to administer the vaccines at different sites. buff.ly/3D4gX95
