NIH awarded $427,627 for a project studying gamma herpesvirus effects on B cell and CD4 T cell interactions in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis to understand autoimmune disease mechanisms.
Description
This NIH project focuses on the impact of gamma herpesvirus on B cell and CD4 T cell interactions in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, with a budget of approximately $427,627 for the fiscal year 2025. The project aims to elucidate mechanisms of autoimmune demyelinating disease development related to viral infection and immune response.
