• How sex and age affect immune responses, susceptibility to infections, and response to vaccination (2015, background): “parental alleles may offer additional advantages to women during host responses, in particular by providing a more adaptive and balanced cellular machinery during innate immune responses (Spolarics, 2007; Libert et al., 2010).”
• Sexual Dimorphism in Innate Immunity (2019, neutral): “The major genetic changes involved in the differences existing between males and females innate immune response reside in the X chromosome [3].”
• Gender differences in autoimmune disease. (2014, neutral): “The X chromosome contains a large number of genes that are involved in immunity (reviewed in (Fish, 2008; Libert et al., 2010)).”
