Scientists have discovered that the body's own natural killer cells can suppress the immune benefits of therapeutic vaccines, a problem that can affect inoculations against chronic viral infections and cancer.
A new study led by Cardiff University has shed light on how the COVID-19 virus "interferes" with the body's initial immune response to avoid detection.
