Brief description The human colon contains many bacteria that can invade through a damaged mucosal barrier and provoke immune cells to cause inflammation with their subsequent removal and a rapid shutdown of inflammation. Failure to clear bacteria or inflammation can lead to inflammatory bowel disease or sepsis. We will investigate how new proteins known as Leucocyte Immunoglobulin-like Receptors allow immune cells to effectively clear microorganisms without provoking uncontrolled inflammation
