Funded Activity Summary

All cells contain DNA that is tightly wrapped around proteins, whereby changes in the structure allow for the expression of proteins. Cells of the immune system express proteins that can resolve viral infections. This study plans to examine the factors mediating the changes in DNA that allow for the expression of these proteins in immune cells. Insights will enable a greater understanding of how these proteins are generated and maintained, and hence will have implications for vaccine design.
