Amidst all the turmoil in American science, it was so inspiring getting to do outreach. We spent the day showing kids and the public what we do in vaccine research! An extra plus going back to basics doing strawberry DNA extractions!! #immunosky

Super cool study out in @cp-immunity.bsky.social using AAV vectors to achieve durable suppression of lymphocyte subsets! Would be interesting to try using this approach to deplete other immune cells… www.cell.com/immunity/ful...
Durable lymphocyte subset elimination upon a single dose of AAV-delivered depletion antibody dissects immune control of chronic viral infection
Depletion antibodies and genetically engineered mouse models are commonly used to
investigate lymphocyte subsets in immunity, albeit with limitations. Kastner et al.
