Translational

Research Project Description:
Mice with MPS IIIB will be treated with drugs that inhibit innate immune activation and will have blood draws performed for serum collection to test for cytokine levels. They will also have hearing tested at 7-8 months of age and tissues harvested at two endpoints to determine if the drug affected immune infiltration and altered morphology
