Funded Activity Summary

Viruses provoke devastating disease. The immune system kills cells that are infected with viruses. To do this, immune cells release granules that are packaged with different killer molecules. It is unknown which killer molecules participate over the course of an immune response to virus. Here, we will investigate this process for cells that are infected with influenza A virus and herpes simplex virus. This study will allow the design of strategies to limit widespread damage inflicted by viruses.
