Amazing mucosa
“The whole mucosal immune system is so fascinating. It has to operate in an environment of extremes.”
LJI team uncovers new subsets of CD4+ ‘helper’ T cells
New analysis shows men and women really do have immune cell differences
WHAM and La Jolla Institute for Immunology identify economic imperative of research focused on women, partner to accelerate autoimmune research focused on women
New study shows autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis research focused on women will bring billions to the economy. Leading immune research institute announces new sex and gender focus.
Suffering from psoriasis? Blame this trio of proteins
LA JOLLA—About 7.5 million Americans suffer from psoriasis, an autoimmune disease that shows up as patches of red, inflamed
C is for Vitamin C—a key ingredient for immune cell function

A new window into autoimmune diseases
LJI scientists uncover coordinated immune cell activity as a driver of systemic lupus erythematosus
Learning from men. Learning from women.
Men and women have different immune systems. With a better understanding of sex-specific immune differences, scientists can more effectively fight infections, cancers, heart disease, and even pregnancy complications.
