Funded Activity Summary

The introduction of novel viruses such as influenza and Henipa viruses into the human population from animal reservoirs is often fatal as the virus is not attenuated by adaptation to the host. As we are immunologically naïve, efficient immunity cannot be mounted. T cells mediate the control and clearance of viruses, and can remember past infection or vaccination. Understanding the role of T responses to zoonotic viral infections is needed for development of novel preventative vaccines.
