Gervais, Trespidi, Ferrari, Rovida, Cobat, Zhang, Casanova, Borghesi et al. show that, in 13 European, Middle-Eastern, and American cohorts, pre-existing autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs are causal for WNV encephalitis in about 40% of patients. hubs.la/Q046JZ5J0

@HsiehElena @FOCISimmunology @Focis_FCE Terrific! FCEs contribute to advancing immunology through training and excellent courses. Congratulations to the UC team and all FOCIS speakers from different centers.

What a great scientifically and demographically diverse group of trainees/learners at our first FOCIS Advanced Course in Basic and Translational Immunology at University of Colorado!! #thefutureisbright @FOCISimmunology @Focis_FCE
