Brief description The activation of T lymphocytes is essential part of our immune system to fend off harmful intruders. Our research aims to understand the process of T cell activation, in particular, the contribution of fats. We found that fats create a highly ordered patch at the T cell activation site. We want to understand how lipids and proteins work together to activate T cells, how this ordered regions function in T cell activation and whether dietary lipids alter these patches and thus T cell activation.
