Cytokines 2025

Looking forward to Cytokines 2025! @alleninstitute.org will be there, with posters about plasma cells, Rheumatoid arthritis, neuroimmune signaling, ulcerative colitis, TRM formation, and a new interferon signaling atlas.

Our colleagues at @benaroyaresearch.bsky.social and @alleninstitute.org collected patient metadata, clinical labs, vaccine serology, plasma proteomics, scRNA-seq, and whole blood RNA-seq data, all curated and openly available for download with consistent metadata from our web portal.

Dynamics of Human Immune Health and Age

If you're an Immunologist studying vaccine response or looking for a great control dataset for your study, or if you're looking for a great dataset for large-scale, machine learning, look no further than our Dynamics of Immune Health and Age website.

Now that the paper is out, we're proud to support both our team's publication and immunologists through open visualizations, tools, downloads, and a record of analyses, called a Certificate of Reproducibility through the Human Immune System Explorer.

As we continue to develop the @alleninstitute.org Allen Institute for Immunology web platform, our first big challenge was to build tools to support the release of the amazing longitudinal Immune Health study, published yesterday in Nature:

Years before the pain begins, early-warning signs for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) could help doctors catch the disease before it starts. 🧡

Two #AACR25 posters from Allen Institute for Immunology will be up Tuesday from 9-12.

Medbh Dillon will showcase 3D Multiple Myeloma culture models at Sec. 6, No. 14

Imran McGrath and I have our scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics from MM patients at Sec. 28 No. 11

The main way we have to look at Complement System in our atlas is by looking at expression of the genes that are involved. For example, if you select the gene C1QA (serum complement component C1q) in our reference tool, we can see that it's expressed by a specialized C1Q+ monocyte population:

The striatum is a key region involved in substance use disorders and movement disorders, and these new tools provide a way to target specific populations within this important brain region.

Congrats to the Allen Institute for Brain Science team on building this resource!

Human Immune Health Atlas

Christian LaFrance overcame a series of technical hurdles to make this beautiful, responsive, and extensible tool that we can build on in future releases.

The data and analyses that went into building this resource are described here:

As part of our Human Immune Health Atlas release from the Allen Institute for Immunology, we built a UMAP viewer for interactive data exploration that can handle millions of cells.

To understand disease, we must understand the healthy immune system, deeply and across the human lifespan.

Thanks to the dedication of ~100 healthy volunteers and many research teams, we are proud to share the Human Immune Health Atlas. 🧡
