Corticosteroids have been prescribed for decades to modulate inflammation, yet there is a paucity of data on their effects in humans. We examined the changes in cellular and molecular immune system parameters, or immunome, in 20 volunteers at baseline, and after intravenous hydrocortisone (HC) administered at moderate (250 mg) and low (50 mg) doses, to provide insight into how corticosteroids exert their effects.

Constructing such models requires the collection of dense measurements of system states, yet transformation of data into predictive constructs remains a challenge. To begin to model human immunity, we analyzed immune parameters in depth both at baseline and in response to influenza vaccination.
Global analyses of human immune variation reveal baseline predictors of postvaccination responses.
