感染防御にはたらく抗ウイルス抗体が神経組織へと移行するにはCD4陽性T細胞のヘルプが必要である. 飯島則文・岩崎明子（米国Yale大学School of Medicine，Department of Immunobiology） email：飯島則文，岩崎明子. DOI: 10.7875/first.author.


Akiko Iwasaki (born in 1970) is a Professor of Department of Immunobiology and Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale University.^[1] She is also a principal investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Her research interests include innate immunity, autophagy, inflammasomes, sexually transmitted infections, herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, respiratory virus infections, influenza infection, T cell immunity, and commensal bacteria.
She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2018.^[2]
Iwasaki was born and raised in Iga, Japan. After high school she moved to Toronto, Canada, where in 1994, she received her bachelor's degree in biochemistry and physics from the University of Toronto. She had hopes of becoming a mathematician or physicist like her father. However, her interests changed after taking an immunology class.^[3] She earned her doctoral degree in immunology from the University of Toronto in 1998. Iwasaki did her Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Institutes of Health. In 2000, she started her own lab at Yale University.^[3]

While working on her PhD project, Iwasaki was among the first to show that antigen-presenting cells were in the blood, not the muscle. She investigated how DNA vaccination elicits an immune response. At the time scientists thought muscle cells were essential for alerting the immune system of foreign proteins, or antigens, coded for by the vaccines because the DNA vaccines work best when injected into the muscle.^[3]
Iwasaki's research continues to focus on understanding innate immunity and how that information is used to produce protective adaptive immunity. Iwasaki and her team study immune responses to influenza in the lungs and herpes simplex virus in the genital tract. Overall, the goal is to design effective vaccines or microbiocides for the prevention of transmission of viral and bacterial pathogens.^[1]
According to Google Scholar, one of her publications, "Toll-like receptor control of the adaptive immune response,"^[4] has been cited over 3,298 times and was published in Nature Immunology in October 2004. In January 2015, one of Iwasaki's studies was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, another prestigious journal.^[1] The study, "Temperature-dependent innate defense against the common cold virus limits viral replication at warm temperature in mouse airway cells",^[5] investigates the relationship between temperature and immune responses.
