Infectious Diseases and Immunology
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens, including viruses and bacteria. Researchers aim to understand the interactions between these microorganisms and immune cells in order to develop vaccines and therapies against infectious diseases.
Below is a collection of scientific resources for your infectious disease research.
The Immune Response to HIV Poster
Nina Bhardwaj, Florian Hladik and Susan Moir. This Poster summarizes how HIV establishes infection at mucosal surfaces, the ensuing immune response to the virus involving DCs, B cells and T cells, and how HIV subverts this response to establish a chronic infection.
Get Your Free Copy >- Transform Intracellular Delivery Using the CellPore™ Transfection SystemIntracellular delivery of molecules is a key step in biological research, but traditional transfection methods are often limited in their ability to efficiently deliver macromolecules across diverse cell types without altering cell phenotype and function. <br><br>Watch this on-demand webinar—originally presented as a workshop at AAI 2025—to learn how the CellPore™ Transfection System addresses these limitations by using mechanoporation to create transient membrane pores, enabling direct cytosolic delivery with high efficiency and cell viability.
- T Cell Nomenclature: From Subsets to ModulesA modular framework for classifying T cells by lineage, function, migration, differentiation, and antigen context.
- "Innate Immune Receptors" Featuring Dr. Jenny TingOn this episode of the Immunology Podcast, Dr. Jenny Ting discusses her research on oxidative phosphorylation in HIV, the role of AIM2 in autoimmunity, and microbes that can protect from radiation.
- Tools for Optimizing Human Immune Cell ResearchObtaining consistent and reliable results when culturing immune cells can be challenging. Watch this webinar to discover how to obtain high yields of functional T cells, NK cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages for your research applications. The speaker, Evan Karas, also explains how to expand primary T cells without feeders or serum.
