Project
Grant Activity:
Discovery of novel, microbial antigens recognised by Mucosal Associated Invariant T cells
Purpose:
Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells are an abundant yet poorly studied type of T cells in humans. Based on our discovery that MAIT cells target pathogens by recognising a by-product of their metabolism, this proposal will identify novel microbial metabolite targets of MAIT cells and provide new insights and approaches to anti-microbial immunity. Thereby this project will deepen our understanding of the biology of MAIT cells and could furnish novel agents to treat microbial infections.
