Inhibition1

  • Competing immune cells disrupt the contacts needed for timely immune responses

    Where this hypothesis actsConcurrent antigen-specific responses in lymphoid cultures with unused APC contact opportunities

    What is proposedReduce disruptive encounters between responder populations

    With whatPhysical or surgical intervention

    HowSeparate responder populations into matched APC channels while maintaining total APC number, per-target presentation exposure and shared soluble medium

    Possible resultPossible restoration of delayed responses and stabilization of SPV_3
