Dr. Sperling’s laboratory is investigating the role of co-receptors in T cell function. Understanding these key regulators of T cell responses is essential for determining mechanisms involved in the development of asthma and other lung diseases. Areas of emphasis include 1) ICOS regulation of Th2 inflammation in asthma models; 2) genetic variation of the ICOS gene in human allergy; 3) CD43 regulation of T cell activation; 4) Fas regulation of clearance of Th2 mediated inflammation.
