- The dynamics of crossreactive CD8 T cell responses during human virus infections[2]
Notable studies[edit | edit source]
- After researching seed funding from the Ramsay award program, Prof. Liisa Selin and Anna Gil Ph.D. reported finding immune system dysregulation in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue (ME/CFS), including increased CD4+CD8+ T-cells and aberrant cytokines, although this research has not yet been published.[3]
