Abstract

This project was focused on improving the immune response to infectious disease and cancer. We have engineered T cell receptors with 1000-fold increase in affinity and will characterize their value as diagnostics and therapeutics. In addition, we examined changes in T cell function due to the co-receptor CD5. We also examined how T cell responses to infection are dependent upon metabolic and epigenetic regulation.
