Descripción: IGC. Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência «Research Interests: Adaptive immunity begins with the generation of antigen-specific effector T cells from their naïve precursors, upon interaction with professional Antigen Presenting Cells (APC). Once generated, effector T cells are the central actors of antigen specific immune response. Our research team employs a combination of morphological, biochemical and functional approaches to investigate T lymphocyte activation and their communication with APC.»
