We are interested in regulatory mechanisms in adaptive immune responses at the dendritic cell (DC) – T cell interphase. It is our long-term goal to understand how immune cell differentiation and function is regulated by exogenous (human rhinoviruses, HRV) and endogenous (cytoplasmic tail of CD45, ct-CD45 and iron) danger signals and to characterize novel and functional relevant receptors on DCs and T cells via which adaptive immunity can be turned on or off. In order to find such regulatory mechanisms we are currently investigating the following research topics:
