Dissecting human B-cell function: from primary immunodeficiencies to chronic inflammatory disease

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Despite knowing a lot about immunity in a mice, functional analysis of the human immune system has been a major challenge. I will study defects of immune cells in humans with gene mutations that cause an antibody deficiency. With new insights from these unique clinical samples, I will functionally dissect human immune responses, directly translate these to chronic inflammatory disease, and provide implications for future vaccine development and cancer treatment.
