Funded Activity Summary

Interferons are soluble proteins released by immune cells that play a vital role in immune cell development, their recruitment to sites of injury-infection and detection and removal of pathogens. Interferons act by binding to the surfaces of other cells and altering their behaviour. This project will determine, at a molecular level, how this binding changes cell behaviour. These studies will help to explain why some people are prone to infectious disease.
