Resumen de An immune portal.
The article reports on a discovery by Stephan Feske who, while in Germany, was able to study two Turkish brothers who were born with severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome, or SCIDS. Feske and his team were able to study a key protein involved in the immune system's inability to work because its T-cells could not absorb calcium. This has led to the discovery of Orai 1, a protein that may be part of the ion channel that admits calcium into T-cells. INSET: BUILDING ON PAST SUCCESSES.
