    Mechanisms of antibody mediated protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
    Wellcome Trust Jun 1, 2023 - Jul 1, 2028
    Role: PI
    Description: Almost all effective vaccines rely on antibody-mediated immunity. Despite increasing evidence that antibodies play a role in immunity to tuberculosis (TB), the current pipeline of TB vaccine candidates has focused on eliciting cellular immunity. One critical bottleneck that prevent maximising the utility of antibody-mediated immunity for novel TB vaccines is lack of understanding how antibodies protect against infection by M. tuberculosis (Mtb). Using single-cell RNA sequencing, I will identify the cellular phenotypes and spatial organisation associated with antibody-mediated protection. Finally, I will investigate the role of activatory and inhibitory Fc receptor signalling in mediating antibody-mediated protection. Taken together, the proposed studies will help rationally improve future TB vaccines.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
