Funded Activity Summary

People with severe kidney disease often have inflammation in the small blood vessels within their kidneys, known as vasculitis. Human observational studies suggest that a type of immune cell, the CD8+ cell, may be critical to disease outcome, but there is no functional evidence for this. The current studies will define the role of these CD8+ cells in disease so that better treatments for humans with vasculitis can be considered.
