STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF RECEPTOR ACTIVATION

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 我的实验室研究与免疫学、血栓形成和细菌发病机制相关的受体激活和细胞粘附机制。 特别是，我们正在研究：1）伊加抗体和伊加受体之间的相互作用，2）受体介导的血小板活化和血栓形成抑制剂，3）葡萄球菌生物膜中的蛋白质依赖性细胞间粘附。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. My laboratory studies mechanisms of receptor activation and cellular adhesion related to immunology, thrombosis, and bacterial pathogenesis. In particular, we are working on: 1) interactions between IgA antibodies and IgA receptors, 2) receptor-mediated platelet activation and thrombosis inhibitors, 3) protein-dependent intercellular adhesion in staphylococcal biofilms.
