This research will begin to determine the significance of changes in the amount of recently-discovered proteins on the surface of cells called T lymphocytes. These cells control immune responses and move throughout the body to do this. Sometimes, they are activated inappropriately and cause diseases like asthma, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. It is therfore important to understand how the movement of these cells through the body is controlled. A better understanding of this process shuld allow us to design better ways to control it, thereby controlling the negative aspects of T cell activation.

这项研究将开始确定最近发现的T淋巴细胞表面蛋白质数量变化的意义。这些细胞控制免疫反应，并在整个身体中移动。有时，它们被不适当地激活，导致哮喘、关节炎和多发性硬化症等疾病。因此，了解这些细胞在体内的运动是如何被控制的是很重要的。对这一过程的更好理解将使我们能够设计更好的方法来控制它，从而控制T细胞活化的负面影响。
