Strengthening adaptive immunity via innate immunity: enhancing the CD8 T cell response by using the NKG2D ligand expressed in a herpesvirus vector (StAdvInn)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

CD8+ T cells play a key role in the control of infections by intracellular pathogens. Recently, several top-notch studies provided ample evidence that NK cells are important in the regulation of CD8+ T cell response. NKG2D is an activating NK cell receptor which plays a role in the adaptive immune response by co-stimulating CD8+ T cells. Due to unique pattern of immune response, live attenuated CM ...

Methods for high-throughput glycoproteomic analysis (HTP-GlycoMet)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

The main aim of the HTP-GlycoMet proposal is to develop technologies, which will enable high-throughput analysis of glycosylation of individual proteins from body fluids and cell membranes and apply them to understand some key processes in immunity and infections. Glycan analysis is extremely demanding from both technological and conceptual aspect and (beside one study performed by partners in thi ...

DRIVING RE-INVESTMENT IN R&D AND RESPONSIBLE ANTIBIOTIC USE (DRIVE-AB)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is widespread. Its global human and economic burden is tremendous and increasing annually. Yet today only a few pharmaceutical companies retain active antibacterial drug discovery programmes. While the elaboration of antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action is scientifically complex, the chief challenge is diminishing incentives. Pre-market regulatory requirements ...

Memory Control; The role of NKG2D and the T-cell receptor in memory T cell biology (NKG2D in T-cells)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,

Despite our advances in medical sciences, infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C remain an important health problem for our society. Also, targeting the immune system towards cancer is a promising therapy to fight this disease. Cellular immunity mediated by memory CD8 T-cells provides vital protection against infections and the development of tumors. Understanding the formation and mainte ...
