We are working on Antigen-processing and presentation of Dendritic Cell subsets, Pattern-Recognition receptors, 
as well as on DC-migration in mouse and human (Dudziak et al., Science, 2007). We are using recombinant antibodies against DCs to target antigens
in vivo to different DC subsets. The candidates will analyze early and late (memory) T cell responses in vivo, DC-migration, and signaling in DCs.
