Anyone have context as to how the name came to be? When I think of inverse vaccine, I think of something that gives you a disease. This is suggestive of erasing memory instead.
Super exciting work nonetheless.
- pazimzadeh 3y agoBecause immune tolerance is the opposite of immune protection, when it comes to the adaptive immune system, whose business is deciding what to do the next time it encounters an antigen (it's a memory response either way). But really what they found here should maybe be called an inverse vaccine adjuvant (the part of the vaccine which tells your immune system that the associated antigen is dangerous, and a protective response should be mounted to it)
