Role of subnuclear NSrp70 in immunity-studied at Gwangju Institute of Science & Technology

(GIST (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology)) T cells are components of the body's immune system. The ability of T cells to recognize diverse pathogens and mount a defense against them stems from the way proteins are spliced during their development and maturation. Now, scientists from Korea highlight the importance of a protein called NSrp70, which was previously discovered in T cell subnuclear spaces, in regulating the maturation of these cells, and has implications in T cell-mediated adaptive immunity against viral infection and cancer.
