"Dissecting the human T cell response to pathogens, allergens, and self-antigens" (PREDICT)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2018,
"The overall goal of this project is to test, in the human system, several hypotheses related to the role of T helper (Th) subsets in immunity and immunopathology. Using an experimental approach that takes advantage of high throughput culture methods and combines the ex vivo analysis of memory T cells with the in vitro priming of naïve T cells, we will dissect the Th cell response to pathogens, al ...

IMMUNE RESPONSES TO INFLUENZA VACCINE (IRINVAC)
Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2017,
"Influenza virus continues to represent a major global health problem and the recent pandemic caused by a H1N1 strain of influenza A (swine flu) is a good example of its potential global threat to health. Vaccination again influenza confers in most of the cases protection against the disease, mainly due to a robust humoral response. However, yearly vaccinations are required in order to protect aga ...

New approaches to analyze and exploit the human B and T cell response against viruses (IMMUNEXPLORE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Immunological memory confers long term protection against pathogens and is the basis of successful vaccination.Following antigenic stimulation long lived plasma cells and memory B cells are maintained for a lifetime,conferring immediate protection and enhanced responsiveness to the eliciting antigen. However, in the case ofvariable pathogens such as influenza virus, B cell memory is only partially ...
