Rhythm restoration1

  • Rapid killing delays immune protection when cells cannot meet before antigen display ends

    Where this hypothesis actsDuring priming when rapid killing leaves a short antigen-display window

    What is proposedSynchronize responder availability to bring productive contacts forward

    With whatChange of environment or regimen

    HowExperimentally schedule lymphocyte access to individual APC-contact stations in microwell cultures

    Possible resultPossible rescue of cellular and humoral response onset without prolonging antigen availability
