Brief description Autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, Crohns disease & rheumatoid arthritis collectively affect ~5% of Australians & are associated with the immune system attacking the body’s organs as if they were a foreign infection. Genetic studies in humans & animal studies point towards the enzyme TCPTP being important in the prevention of autoimmunity. This proposal will define the molecular & cellular pathways by which TCPTP prevents autoimmunity.
