| Abstract: |
| Define the mechanism of neuronal death following hypoxic-ischaemic (HI) insult is fundamental for designing new therapeutic strategies to alleviate the long term sequelae from such insult. Our recent observation of dramatically decreased brain injury folowing HI insult in mutant mice without p75NTR has prompted us to examine in greater details how p75NTR is responsible for the cell death process. Specifically whether it is through a ligand (NGF) binding process, or other known or as yet unknown mechanisms. |

The magnitude of the EBV lytic and latent epitope reactivities would be studied and compared in both IM and non-IM patients; likewise, is there a difference in the rate of emergence of latent epitope responses bewteen the IM and non -IM patients? The kinetics and evolution of the EBV epitope-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses from primary to persistent phases of EBV infection would be compared between the two groups of children. |
