Funded Activity Summary

Our immune system can ‘remember’ old infections, which is why we do not suffer from the same pathogen multiple times and why vaccines work. Much of this protection is due to memory B-cells, of which there are different kinds. We think the different memory B-cell subsets have different functions and understanding how they are made and how this is controlled will help us improve responses to critical infections – HIV, Flu – and in critical patient groups – aged people and transplant recipients.
