Brief description The death of cells of our body can be an active and purposeful process. Programmed death occurs in response to infection or as a defence against cancerous changes. If a virally infected cell can die prior to replication of the virus, this will control the infection. We have investigated cell death in response to DNA found in the cytoplasm of cells, which can be an indication of infection. The novel cell death pathway we are characterising is relevant to defence against infection and tumours.
