Brief description Mycobacterial infections remain a major burden of modern society. This proposal aims to define the role of an understudied immune cell subset, gamma-delta T cells, in the response against mycobacteria. We will use cutting-edge multi-photon imaging to track these cells in real-time directly within infected tissues. This will facilitate generating a new vista of anti-mycobacterial immune responses and may aid the development of improved vaccines.
