Skip to main content GEF-H1-Dependent Regulation of Anti-Tumor Immunity We discovered that intracellular activation of the GEF-H1 signaling pathway induces immune responses and dendritic cell maturation similar to microbial pattern recognition receptors. GEF-H1 directed immunity emerges as a critical…

Skip to main content Join Our Lab The Reinecker lab currently has opportunities for: PhD students Projects focus on new mechanisms of recognition of viral and bacterial pathogens and control of innate and adaptive immunity. Postdoctoral researcher Two postdoctoral training positions are available in …

Skip to main content Microbial Transcriptional Regulators Control Mucosal Host Defenses We demonstrated that Interferon regulatory factor (IRF)1 is a component of cyclic dinucleotide recognition that allows mucosal DCs to induce host defense through TH1 7 cells and shape protective immune responses i…

Skip to main content Microtubule-Based Microbial Pattern Recognition System Cells contain a reservoir of inactive GEF-H1 bound to microtubules that is activated by dephosphorylation to form signaling platforms for the activation of innate and cell-autonomous immunity. Muramyl-dipeptide (MDP) is the m…
