Abstract

The family of intracellular signalling enzymes called PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases) are key components of the cell communication machinery; they are involved in a diverse range of cellular processes, from cell movement to cell division and play a critical role in immune defence. We will develop an approach to create mice with specific genetic modifications in their bone marrow and use this to understand the role of selected genes in the immune system.
