Funded Activity Summary
Investigation of Macrophage Function in an Immunologically Privileged Site. The unique phenotype of the testicular macrophage demands understanding, and this project has the potential to open up an entirely new direction of research. The basic information so generated could facilitate development of strategies to alter either host or donor tissue macrophage functions in order to prevent rejection responses in humans, and be used in the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs. Such technologies will have application in development of novel therapeutics for transplantation and the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.Funded Activity Details
