Ready, Set, Go: Immune System Status Predicts Future Responses
Identifying predictors of autoimmune disease flare-ups could aid treatment for these conditions by allowing doctors to intervene before symptoms worsen. Recognizing immune system attributes that forecast a healthy person’s response to vaccination or infection would help researchers develop new vaccines.
A new NIAID study connects these seemingly distinct avenues of research. Using publicly available data, NIAID scientists identified features of a person’s immune state at “baseline”—prior to vaccination for healthy people and during periods of remission for people with the autoimmune disease lupus—that predict later immune responses.
