Funded Activity Summary

This project studies the mechanisms involved in rejection of skin and heart grafts using a novel model to track the behaviour of individual graft-reactive white blood cells. We will test two promising new techniques to limit graft rejection: using drugs to inhibit the entry of graft-reactive cells into the graft, and administering cells with the ability to suppress the function of graft-reactive cells. This work will help us to design new therapies to prevent heart graft rejection.
