Immunological control of streptococci and staphylococci as harmless colonizers at mucocutaneous sites. Impact of individual development on this control. This work involves animal models as well as cells from patients with immunodeficiency disorders.
Molecular interaction and signaling events between macrophages, monocytes and granulocytes and bacteria. Areas of interest are receptor-effector interactions, cellular programming and handling of bacteria. Reporter assays, confocal microscopy and live cell imaging are critical tools.
Development and differentiation of macrophage subsets in vivo
