Brief description Generation of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) is important for defence against viruses and cancer cells. However, when activated inappropriately, CTLs can contribute to diseases such as diabetes as well as transplant rejection. We intend to study the role of several recently-discovered proteins in this process. The outcome of this work may lead to the development of molecules that control CTL generation more specifically than existing therapeutics. Such inhibitors would potentially be useful in the treatment of a range of human diseases.
