IgA ASC Homing to Mucosal Tissues
Description: Most pathogens enter the body through mucosal surfaces. The immune system is uniquely equipped to protect these surfaces through the production of IgA antibodies. We propose to study the mechanisms by which IgA antibody producing cells home to, and accumulate in, mucosal tissues. This knowledge will ultimately lead to the design of more effective mucosal vaccines
