Abstract
The objectives of this project are: 1) To clone and characterise certain avian cytokines, comparing their numbers and functions to those of their mammalian orthologues; 2) To understand the role of cytokines in driving avian innate and adaptive immune responses; 3) To identify cytokines with the potential to act as vaccine adjuvants and/or immunomodulators, and to investigate that potential.
