Immune Function and Biodefense in Immunocrompromised Populations

该计划将开发新的方法来保护或治疗面临生物恐怖威胁的免疫缺陷患者。该研究计划包括确定导致这些人群感染易感性增加或疫苗效力降低的生物机制，以及测试旨在提高安全性或有效性的治疗方法的临床研究。这项研究将有助于预防免疫受损人群中的传染病。

This program will develop novel methods for protecting or treating immunocrompromised individuals at risk from bioterror threats. The research program covers the identification of biological mechanisms responsible for increased susceptibility to infection or decreased effectiveness of vaccines in these populations, as well as clinical research to test treatments designed to increase safety or efficacy. This research will lead to the prevention of infectious disease in immunocompromised populations.
