    Description

    Project C 03 of DFG CRC 654 "Plasticity and Sleep"

    The aim of this subproject is to understand the influence of sleep, wakefulness and circadian rhythm on the number and function of Treg cells in the context of the antimicrobial immune response. First, Treg cells from peripheral blood of healthy subjects will be quantitatively and functionally characterized under controlled sleep-wake conditions. Subsequently, non-immune subjects will be vaccinated with HBs antigen under different sleep-wake conditions and at different times of the day and their humoral immune responses will be recorded. From a clinical point of view, the results could be used for the development of strategies to improve vaccination success.
