#7  Pipe dream stuff. Germs have to survive, too, along with the rest of us. It'll be like fighting the last war. Sure, hope they come up with a vaccine, but, at what cost?

#6   Dendritic cells (DCs)

Lots of major basic science learnings from the current panic that will be applicable to all sorts of infections. I live in hope that the females of the Wife household will see benefits down the line.

#5  Dendritic cells (DCs)
Dendritic cells have the broadest range of antigen presentation and are necessary for activation of naive T cells.[1] DCs present antigen to both helper and cytotoxic T cells. They can also perform cross-presentation, a process by which they present exogenous antigen on MHC class I molecules to cytotoxic T cells. Cross-presentation allows for the activation of these T cells.[2]

In short, you have DC primed with specific antigen - no matter which, you have immune response & (maybe) immune memory.
