Funded Activity Summary

CD8+ T cells provide us with protection against viruses and can also mediate potent anti-tumour effects. Understanding the signals that initiate and sustain an effective CD8+ T cell response is important if we are to intervene in diseases where CD8+ T cell function is defective. We will study patients with inherited gene defects that disrupt some of the signals that T cells receive to determine the role those signals usually play in instructing CD8+ T cells to fight viral infection.
