Summary This project aims to understand more about the function and mechanism of novel proteins and determine how they control fundamental B-cell biology.
Project Details
We generated CRISPR knock-out mouse lines in which putative B-cell regulating genes are specifically deleted. Changes in the B-cell repertoire are detectable using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence techniques. This project aims to understand more about the function and mechanism of these novel proteins and determine how they control fundamental B-cell biology.
