Brief description The ability of the immune system to fight infections relies on the capacity of immune cells to navigate within the body. This study aims at understanding the role of the immune cell receptor Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 2 (EBI2) in guiding the movement and the interaction of the different types of white blood cells during immune responses. These insights will add to our understanding of immune cell migration thereby offering new therapeutic approaches to improve or control immune responses.
