Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Generation of vigorous cell-mediated immune responses is critical to protection against many infectious diseases. T cells and B cells represent separate but interconnected arms of the adaptive immune response. As such, they are critical in providing long-lasting protection, thanks to the induction of immune memory, following vaccination or natural infection. This Special Issue focuses on T and B cell-mediated immunity as they relate to vaccination and protection against infectious diseases. The goal is to enhance our knowledge of the important roles that T and B cells play to provide long-lasting protection. Understanding the contributions of T and B cells, as well as their interactions, following vaccination and/or natural infection could provide critical insights that will help further vaccine development.
