| General Description of the Research Project | In this US-Japan cooperative research project, we aim to elucidate the role of T follicular helper cells and airway tissue resident memory cells in generating protective immune response in airway mucosa during COVID-19. Synergy of our unique in vivo disease model and analysis of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies from patients will directly connect to the development of novel vaccine against COVID-19 |
