As part of the DFG Research Training Group (RTG 2633, Defining and Targeting Autoimmune Pre-Disease, https://www.grk2633.uni-luebeck.de), our Immunology Laboratory at the Institute of Nutritional Medicine (https://the-inum.com) at the University of Lübeck and the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein is investigating the use of defined plant substances to inhibit the induction of pathogenic autoantibodies. We have projects in the research fields of autoimmunity, allergy, vaccination, infection, cancer and nutrition, and are particularly interested in the corresponding T and B cell responses and their influence on the induction of activating or inhibiting antibody isotypes, subclasses and their glycosylation patterns as well as in the generation of corresponding monoclonal antibodies.
