Autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, Crohns disease & rheumatoid arthritis collectively affect ~5% of Australians & are associated with the immune system attacking the body’s organs as if they were a foreign infection. Genetic studies in humans & animal studies point towards the enzyme TCPTP being important in the prevention of autoimmunity. This proposal will define the molecular & cellular pathways by which TCPTP prevents autoimmunity.

1 型糖尿病、克罗恩病和类风湿性关节炎等自身免疫性疾病共同影响了大约 5% 的澳大利亚人，这些疾病与免疫系统攻击身体器官有关，就好像它们是外来感染一样。人类和动物基因研究表明 TCPTP 酶对于预防自身免疫非常重要。该提案将定义 TCPTP 预防自身免疫的分子和细胞途径。
