These stable antibodies create a unique and personal immune 'fingerprint' that barely changes over time. The discovery helps explain how long-term immunity works. 148896 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 13:12:00 +0200 Nieuws /en/news/albert-heck-gives-prestigious-mendel-lecture Professor Albert Heck of Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ has delivered the prestigious Mendel Lecture on 17 October 2024.
