mRNA Vaccines & Autoimmune Diseases
Here I breakdown how our immune system recognizes foreign proteins & what happens during an autoimmune disease (while highlighting the mRNA vaccines for SARS-CoV-2.). First collaboration video with immunologist Sabrina Solouki, PhD - she explained this to me beautifully!
I do use some technical terms, please find them defined below. Sabrina & I are happy to hear questions and comments. Thank you for taking time to learn about autoimmune disorders and how they relate to mRNA vaccines!
🦠
(technical terms: B Cells = responsible for producing antibodies. T Cells = help protect the body from infection. Immune Response = reaction in the body when a non-body substance is detected. Inflammation = local condition in the body as a reaction to injury or infection.)
