The researchers from the School of Medicine worked with an international team of experts—including collaborators in Moscow, Russia and Melbourne, Australia—to look at how people's immune systems responded to the new protein markers. They showed for the first time that "helper" T cells, a type of white blood cell that can suppress viral function, were activated when they came into contact with them. READ MORE
