Harada Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab working toward vaccine development by studying the mechanisms of antibody production and immune memory.
AboutAbout the lab
Decoding immune memory and antibody production at the cellular and molecular levels.
The Harada Lab studies how antibodies are produced when the body encounters a pathogen, and how the memory of that encounter is retained.
When the body encounters a pathogen it has met before, it rapidly produces large amounts of high-quality antibodies to eliminate the invader.
Vaccines are a method that makes use of this immune memory.
The lab aims to clarify the mechanisms of antibody production and the formation of immune memory at the cellular and molecular levels, and to develop new vaccines.
Key terms
- Immune memory
- A mechanism by which, on re-encountering a pathogen it has met before, the body rapidly produces large amounts of higher-quality antibodies to eliminate the invader.
- Follicular helper T cell
- A type of T cell (abbreviated Tfh). Its memory cells efficiently induce antibody production.
- Genetically modified mouse
- A mouse whose genes have been artificially altered. In this lab, mice in which fluorescent proteins and other factors function only in Tfh cells are being generated.
ResearchResearch themes
The Harada Lab aims to clarify the mechanisms of antibody production and immune memory formation at the cellular and molecular levels. It seeks to apply the findings to the development of new vaccines.
