Funded Activity Summary

Immunity is essential to health and requires the production of antibodies. The best antibodies are made by B-cells coming from specialised structures, called germinal centres (GC). To understand why sometimes immunity is excellent - childhood vaccines - and other times not - HIV infection, aged people - we need to understand what happens inside GC. Our prediction is that by understanding GC B cell behaviour, we will resolve good from poor immune responses and thereby develop improvements.
