The Effects of Vaccines on the T Cell Response
We've given the vaccine to healthy adults in two doses, two months apart. The B cells are being activated by parts of the vaccine to make these antibodies that can recognize important targets to neutralize an incoming virus. Can you take samples of those antibodies from those human recipients and demonstrate that they're capable of neutralizing the virus for real? That's part of what is done in these studies. So we're showing it the right thing. And then also the molecule that is allows that to be held together as a particle is also being seen. And so that also stimulates the T cell response as well. All of those factors help to get a really strong T cell response that can be pretty broad
