🔬 Research Focus
Immunophenotyping intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IELs), and investigating their activation, regulation and functions in both cattle and mice.
T-IELs
Semi-activated, tissue-resident T lymphocytes within the intestinal epithelium that maintain barrier integrity, mediate epithelial surveillance, and provide rapid immune responses.
What T-IELs do?
How do they do?
