Developmental immunology and vaccines: cellular immune development and future vaccine strategies.
This section deals with how new knowledge of the development of cellular immunity in the neonatal period informs vaccine development and reviews the immune responses of the most vulnerable group of newborns, those born prematurely, to vaccines. It describes how the development of future vaccine strategies relies on a detailed understanding of immune ontogeny and the potential consequences of intervention on developing cellular immune responses.
