  • Great content, can’t understand

    Great selection of papers

    The lady with the accent is very difficult to understand. She needs to speak slower, at times she speeds up and I cannot follow what she is saying. I am speaking for a lot of people probably too

    Please slow it down and also try to speak about limitations in the studies more frequently

  • Love love love this podcast.

    The content is solid and I garner new insight from every episode. Even though I focus mostly on immunooncology, I appreciate the wide diversity of the topics covered as they expand my thinking about cancer into directions I might not have gone otherwise. I look forward to long road trips catching up on old episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 137: “The Immunology of mRNA Vaccines” Featuring Dr. Brian Brown
Q: How should the scientific community handle communication about controversial topics like vaccines to the public?
Communicators should be careful to explain mechanisms clearly, acknowledge uncertainties, and emphasize that safe, effective improvements are continually pursued; public engagement should be constructive and grounded in scientific evidence rather than sensationalism.
Ep. 137: “The Immunology of mRNA Vaccines” Featuring Dr. Brian Brown
Q: Why is it important to study muscle immunology in vaccines, given that vaccines are routinely delivered intramuscularly?
Muscle is not just a passive site; it can produce cytokines and influence local and systemic immune responses, suggesting that muscle immunology deserves more focused study to optimize vaccine design and delivery.
Ep. 137: “The Immunology of mRNA Vaccines” Featuring Dr. Brian Brown
Q: What is the significance of cross-presentation versus direct presentation in mRNA vaccine biology?
Cross-presentation may be more potent than direct presentation in the vaccine context, as dendritic cells can present antigens they have acquired, which can be more effective for activating T cells than directly expressing antigen in the presenting cell.
Ep. 137: “The Immunology of mRNA Vaccines” Featuring Dr. Brian Brown
Q: What have you learned about how different tissues regulate immune responses, especially in the context of vaccines?
Tissues like the liver appear highly tolerogenic, and hepatocytes may suppress T cell activity, which explains why targeting delivery away from hepatocytes can enhance immune responses; muscle tissue also contributes immunologically through cytokines, influencing overall vaccine efficacy.
Ep. 137: “The Immunology of mRNA Vaccines” Featuring Dr. Brian Brown
Q: You have a technology called JEDI. What is JEDI and why was it developed?
JEDI, the Just EGFP Death Inducing T cell mouse, was created to enable visualization and study of how T cells interact with GFP-expressing cells, providing a practical tool to interrogate antigen presentation and T cell responses in a controlled setting.
