Funded Activity Summary

An enzyme called indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase is important for controlling the immune system during normal and disease conditions including pregnancy, cancer, inflammation and infectious disease. Despite its importance little is known about how this enzyme is controlled. This project will provide important new insights into how this enzyme is regulated. Such fundamental scientific information can discover new ways in which to alter the enzyme's activity in order to modulate immune responses.
