DNA Methylation and Immune Memory Response

The generation of memory is a cardinal feature of the adaptive immune response, involving different factors in a complex process of cellular differentiation. This process is essential for protecting the second encounter with pathogens and is the mechanism by which vaccines work. Epigenetic changes p...

description The generation of memory is a cardinal feature of the adaptive immune response, involving different factors in a complex process of cellular differentiation.
