Immune discovery could aid vaccine development for common cause of sore throat. Researchers have made a discovery that could aid in the development of a vaccine for a common cause of children’s sore throats. The research, led by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), and published in Nature Communications, has identified an immune system signature associated with acute pharyngitis (strep throat). MCRI researchers Dr Joshua Osowicki, Professor Andrew Steer, Associate Professor Paul Licciardi, Associate Professor Daniel Pellicci, contributed to the study, which aimed to advance vaccine research into Strep A by better understanding the immune response to the bacteria.

Immune discovery could lead to sore throat vaccine as seen on The Hippocratic Post.
