Brief description This project is focused on understanding the role of a regulatory protein- NFkB1 and how it is capable of controlling the development of a class of white blood cells termed T cells. Using a mouse model, we reveal how the absence of NFkB1 is important for producing memory T cells. Studies are proposed to determine whether this is an novel way for generating long lived memory T cells against viral infections and cancer, and potentially a new strategy for vaccine development.
