Abstract

The immune system defends us from foreign invaders and also removes host cells which become abnormal or infected. It is crucial to the well being of the individual that the immune system does not attack our own normal healthy cells. Two of the cornerstones of the immune system are T cells and Natural Killer (NK cells). This project aims to use micrarray technology to identify the pathways which lead to the activation of these two cell types.
