Seminar: Infection, Inflammasomes and Autophagy, Professor Tom Evans, Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, University of GlasgowMBU, Medical School BuildingAbstract: We are interested in how bacteria trigger an immune response following infection. Initial contact with bacteria triggers a response from the innate immune system, resulting in activation of important immune defence mechanisms. Bacterial infection can result in activation of the NLRC4 inflammasome. Our work has focussed on the mechanisms surrounding this activation and how autophagy influences this process. |
