Control of mucosal immunity and barrier function by human gamma/delta T cells

Lead Research Organisation: CARDIFF UNIVERSITY
Department Name: School of Medicine

Abstract

Gamma/Delta T cells are 'unconventional' lymphocytes that regulate immune responses to infection and promote mucosal protection. This PhD will use gene expression profiling, functional studies on cells from human blood and intestine, and in vivo models to define how microbe-responsive gamma/delta T cells control CD4+ T cell immunity in health and inflammation.
