AI Identifies Pre-existing Antimicrobial Antibody Profile That May Predict Immune Response to Vaccination

Researchers analyzing antibody profiles in thousands of individuals have discovered that pre-existing antibodies to common microbes can predict the strength of new vaccine responses. The Arizona State University (ASU) team measured antibodies against 185 antigens—including those from common viruses, bacteria, and targets associated with autoimmune diseases—in blood samples from 4,000…
