      Mohn, Kristin Greve-Isdahl; Brokstad, Karl Albert; Pathirana, Rishi; Bredholt, Geir; Jul-Larsen, Åsne; Trieu, Mai Chi; Jalloh, Sarah Larteley Lartey; Montemoli, Emanuele; Tøndel, Camilla; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen; Cox, Rebecca Jane (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Background. Tonsils play a key role in eliciting immune responses against respiratory pathogens. Little is known about how tonsils contribute to the local immune response after intranasal vaccination. Here, we uniquely ...
    • Longevity of B-cell and T-cell responses after live attenuated influenza vaccination in children 

      Mohn, Kristin Greve-Isdahl; Bredholt, Geir; Brokstad, Karl Albert; Pathirana, Rishi; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen; Tøndel, Camilla; Cox, Rebecca Jane (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-15)
