| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Immune responses directed against viral "peptides" have been studied extensively, which have medical implications, including the development of peptide vaccines. This study focussed on immune responses directed against viral "lipopeptides", and it was elucidated how this new immune pathway was activated. This study has provided an important basis for the near-future identification of such an immune pathway in humans.
