Funded Activity Summary

Memory cells stand at the end of immune reactions and determine the success or failure of vaccination. T cells in are considered essential in tumour surveillance, clearance of infections and in providing help for antibody decretion. Blimp-1 is a major factor controling the differentiation of effector T cells. We aim to study its role in the generation of memory T cells which will help to develop better stratagies for immunization and for the treatment of immunodedeficiency and autoimmunity.
