CCR9 expressing T helper cells in immunity and autoimmunity [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Cecile King (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Mark Danta

Brief description We have identified a unique subset of immune cells in autoimmune lesions named Tccr9 cells. You find these cells in the gut, but when the body shifts into disease mode, Tccr9 cells disseminate to the accessory organs of the digestive system. Understanding the relationship between gut Tccr9 cells and the Tccr9 cells that contribute to chronic inflammation and autoimmunity is the focus of this research proposal.
