Vaccines, adjuvants and autoimmunity

By

Authors: Luísa Eça Guimarãesa, Britain Bakera, Carlo Perriconeb, Yehuda Shoenfelda,c  Abstract Vaccines and autoimmunity are linked fields. Vaccine efficacy is based on whether host immune response against an antigen can elicit a memory T-cell response over time. Although the described side effects thus far have been mostly transient and acute, vaccines are able to elicit the immune system towards […]
