Funded Activity Summary

T cell lymphocytes are essential cells in our immune system. They respond to signals from foreign bodies to mount an immune response. Many diseases arise from errors in their activation processes. The key steps in the translation of the initial arrival of a foreign-body to a T cell into an immune response will be examined in these studies, where we will look at the cooperation of components of the cell membrane during T cell activation. This will help us to understand and treat immune disorders.
