Funded Activity Summary

We know that many parts of viruses are displayed to the immune system, but infection can also result in the display of fragments of our body's own proteins (self-peptides). We will apply cutting-edge technology to find all the virus- and self-peptides that are recognised by the immune system during infection with a vaccine virus and influenza virus. This will help us understand how the body fights infection and perhaps why infection can sometimes start autoimmune diseases.
