探寻免疫相关重要蛋白质的脉络--免疫相关重要蛋白质的生物学研究进展

Advances in biological research of immune-related key proteins

深入认识免疫功能的调节机制有助于预见感染、肿瘤和自身免疫等疾病的发展方向,并可能针对其具体的调节靶点和途径加以调控。国家重大科学研究项目"免疫相关重要蛋白质的生物学研究",以发现新的免疫相关蛋白质及其复合体为切入点,探讨其在免疫识别、免疫应答/耐受、免疫调节过程中的功能,从而掌握免疫过程及其调节的特点和规律,为攻克感染、肿瘤或自身免疫疾病提供重要的理论基础,为相应的干预治疗提供新的靶点和策略。将对项目启动5年来开展的研究内容及取得的研究成果进行介绍。

A profound understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of immune function will contribute to predict the development trend of the infection, tumor and autoimmune diseases, and make it possible to control these diseases by targeting specific molecules and pathways. National Basic Research Program of China ＂Biological research of the immune-related key proteins＂, starting with the discovery of new immune proteins and its complex, aims to explore their function in the immune recognition, immune response/tolerance, and immune regulation, master the characteristics and rules of immune process and regulation, in order to provide important theoretical basis to conquer infection, tumor and autoimmune disease, and provide new targets and strategies for the intervention and treatment. This article will review the research progress of the five-year project.
