This Program Grant has three investigators, Professor Denis Moss, Dr Rajiv Khanna and Dr Scott Burrows, each of whom has collaborated on two previous Program Grants. The group is well known in the area of herpesvirus immunology and have published numerous scientific papers in leading medical journals. This program grant focuses on two human herpesviruses. The first is called Epstein-Barr virus which causes glandular fever and is associated with arange of human cancers. The second virus is human cytomegalovirus which can cause birth defects and problems in transplant patients. In this program we are investigating how the body�s immune system controls these viruses to exploit this information to develop new treatments.

这项计划拨款有三名研究人员，丹尼斯·莫斯教授、拉吉夫·卡纳博士和斯科特·布伦斯博士，他们每个人都曾在之前的两项计划拨款上进行过合作。该小组在疱疹病毒免疫学领域很有名气，并在领先的医学期刊上发表了大量科学论文。这项计划拨款的重点是两种人类疱疹病毒。第一种被称为爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒，它会引起腺热，并与一系列人类癌症有关。第二种病毒是人类巨细胞病毒，它会导致移植患者的出生缺陷和问题。在这个项目中，我们正在研究身体�S免疫系统如何控制这些病毒，以利用这些信息来开发新的治疗方法。
