 | | Of particular interest are applications studying the development of basic perinatal host defense mechanisms in humans and non-human primates. | | | This makes it feasible to molecularly and biologically dissect and characterize the key elements, mechanisms and signal transduction pathways that are important in the ontogeny of host immune defense mechanisms. | | | This Request for Applications (RFA), Ontogeny of Perinatal Host Defenses, is related to the priority areas of maternal and infant health, and immunization and infectious diseases. |

| | The study of host-pathogen interactions is a major part of the work of IIU, exemplifying the multidisciplinary approach to research. | | | We are therefore studying the interactions between the intestinal bacterium Helicobacter hepaticus and cells of the innate immune system, such as dendritic cells that are among the first cells of our immune system to come in contact with the organism and that are involved in the initial priming of CD4+ T cells. | | | It is thought these may affect the host response to the bacterial infection differently than single cells, and we are in the process of developing projects to address this. |
