This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $318,085 to support research on the role of antibodies in controlling virus infections through Fc-dependent mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytolysis (CDC). The research aims to elucidate the molecular determinants that govern how natural killer (NK) cells control virus dissemination through ADCC, and to investigate the specificity requirements for ADCC responses and methods for optimizing ADCC-inducing immunotherapies. The project will use two different viruses, HCMV and SARS-CoV-2, to reveal whether virus immune-evasion impacts the outcome of these Fc-dependent immune mechanisms. The award period runs from December 23, 2024 to November 30, 2029.
