New research shows mucosal surfaces in eyes, nose, mouth and throat are crucial to the first line of defence against upper respiratory infections, like #COVID19. Published in JCI insight ICB - the journal doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne… UniMelb MDHS The Royal Melbourne Hospital Kevin John 🧪🧩

How do #mucosal antibodies respond after #vaccination or #covid breakthrough infection? 🤔 Do previous exposures shape future #humoral responses? Our work is finally out as twin publications in JCI insight and ICB - the journal Short🧵to follow 😉
