Research project funded by NIAID to study T cell roles in Alpha-Gal syndrome and mammalian meat allergy, aiming to understand immune mechanisms for future interventions.
Description
The project focuses on defining T cell contributions to Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) using innovative analytical approaches. The project aims to uncover immune mechanisms that could inform future interventions. The project involves immunophenotyping, T cell cloning, and mechanistic studies. The funding is from the NIH, with a focus on allergy and immunology research.
