The paper shows maternal memory T cells protect offspring from respiratory viral infection through IL-10-mediated suppression of inflammation, independent of antibodies or offspring T cells.

The paper finds that early pregnancy SARS2 vaccination is associated with increased detection of T cell maternal microchimerism in cord blood.

The paper develops a cost-effective and sensitive method for detecting microchimerism using custom genotyping and qPCR assays, validated in two populations.

Maternal microchimerism in Malian cord blood is associated with fewer Pf-responsive ZBTB16+ CD4 and Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, and with infant malaria outcomes.

This study compares CD4 T-cell cytokine responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in infants and adults, finding restricted cytokine production in infants and differences by vaccine type.

The paper examines how HIV exposure in infants affects maternal microchimeric T cells, finding reduced levels in CD8+ T cells among HIV-exposed uninfected infants.

The paper predicts SARS-CoV-2 B-cell epitopes using computational methods and validates them with ELISA, finding two antigens with high sensitivity and specificity for serological diagnosis of COVID-19.
