Abstract

The aim of this work is to identify the cell subsets that contribute to IFNg-dependent immunity to Salmonella typhimurium infection during primary and subsequent rechallenge infections. There are three main objectives addressed by this proposal. 1. Determination of the anti-Salmonella mechanism(s) mediated by natural killer (NK) cells 2. The minimal requirement for T cell subsets and the IFNg-mediated anti-Salmonella response 3. The interaction between different T cell subsets and the IFNg-mediated anti-Salmonella response.
