This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $3,194,992 to the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to conduct research on the roles and regulation of tissue-resident CD8 T cells during a persistent viral infection. The key objectives are to: (1) evaluate the role of tissue-resident CD8 T cells in intestinal hyper-permeability and colitis during a sustained viral infection, (2) investigate how type I interferons regulate intestinal tissue-resident CD8 T cells during sustained vs. acute viral infection, and (3) identify the source(s) of type I interferons that regulate intestinal tissue-resident CD8 T cell responses. This 4-year award, starting on Jul 16, 2025, will leverage advanced immunological techniques and cutting-edge technologies to characterize the development and maintenance of tissue-resident CD8 T cell responses during long-term viral infections, as well as define the potential consequences on tissue homeostasis and viral control.
