Funded Activity Summary

The immunoproteasome is a piece of cellular machinery which degrades proteins and has been shown to enhance the body's recognition and response to viruses and cancer cells. This immunoproteasome is made up of various subunits, but it has not yet been assessed how each of these subunits contribute to the overall response. By studying the individual subunits, we will have a better understanding in how to manipulate the immune system for anti-viral and anti-cancer vaccine design.
