Follicular cytotoxic T cell differentiation and function in infection and B-cell lymphoma [ 2018 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Di Yu (Principal investigator)

Brief description Cytotoxic T cells eliminate infected or cancerous cells, constituting a major arm of the immune defence. In this study, we will investigate a subset of cytotoxic T cells that particularly migrate into B cell follicles to control infection and malignancy. Understanding of the differentiation and function of this subset, termed as follicular cytotoxic T (TFC) cells, will help us to develop new strategies to treat EBV and HIV infections as well as B cell lymphomas.
