Activation1

  • Bacterial signals can sustain immune protection after further antigen recognition stops

    Where this hypothesis actsOlder-donor cultures after initial cognate priming and the first matched T–B interaction

    What is proposedDeliver non-antigen-encoding bacterial RNA selectively to antigen-presenting cells

    With whatTargeted delivery

    HowAPC-targeted delivery of nonreplicating bacterial RNA to sustain the transient cytokine program after further cognate signaling is terminated

    Possible resultPossible restoration of timely antigen-specific killing and functional antibody production
