Excited to share our new publication in @JCI_insight! We used mass cytometry and machine learning to identify T cell signatures associated with resistance to Chlamydia trachomatis reinfection in women with high exposure.

Exciting progress in Chlamydia vaccine research! Intranasal immunization with CPAF & ADU-S100 shows promise in reducing infection duration and boosting immune responses in mice. @Els_Vaccine https://t.co/cNasSzejfI

Chlamydia trachomatis induces low-frequency, sustained CD4 T cell responses in most women, predominantly targeting chlamydial protease-like activity factor, CPAF @JIDJournal https://t.co/mAQKCgNyRY

[Mucosal Immunology @MucosalImmunol]

Chlamydia lacks a vaccine, and work here shows protection requires a strong CD4 T cell response:

It’s Giving Tuesday or in UNC speak #TarHealTuesday. @UNC_Micro_Imm is raising funds to support travel of our trainees to scientific conferences. Hoping our successful alumni will lead the way by joining me in supporting this cause and by retweeting! https://t.co/NVyEyv38HE

[PLOS Pathogens @PLOSPathogens]

This new study constitutes a major methodological advance to the study of Chlamydia and furthers our understanding of the bacterial factors contributing to progression through the developmental cycle.

Congratulations to @audra_fullen on her first first author manuscript!

[PLOS Pathogens @PLOSPathogens]

This new paper from Fullen et al. provides new insights into how B. pertussis has evolved to survive in the mammalian respiratory tract.
