Role of the novel G protein-coupled receptor EBI2 in B and T cell responses [ 2008 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Dominique Gatto (Principal investigator)

Brief description The ability of the immune system to fight infections relies on the capacity of immune cells to traffic within immune organs in order to encounter invading pathogens and to interact with each other. Cells are guided in their migration by “homing receptors”, which recognize localization signals. This study aims at understanding the role of a novel member of this class of receptors, Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 2 (EBI2), in the immune system and in protection against infectious microorganisms.
