US blood donor study finds nearly half of population exhibits hybrid immunity to COVID-19

Hybrid immunity, resulting from both previous infection and vaccination, offers superior protection. Analysis of nationwide blood donor data reveals that by the third quarter of 2022, 96.4% of individuals had SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from previous infection or vaccination, with 47.7% having hybrid immunity.

High levels of memory killer cells correlate with better survival in melanoma patients

Our skin contains specialized long-lived killer cells that protect against intruders. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have now identified how these cells are formed, and shown that high levels of memory killer cells in cancer tissue correlate with a better survival rate in people with melanoma.
