James Jarrett is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow, affiliated with the School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine. His research focuses on the immunology and pathogenesis of feline retroviruses, particularly feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV), with an emphasis on vaccine development and immune response dynamics.
His work explores DNA vaccination strategies, cellular immune responses, and viral neutralization mechanisms. Key contributions include analyzing replication defective FIV vaccines, CTL (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte) responses in vaccinated cats, and the role of immune dysfunction in retroviral-associated lymphomas.
James Jarrett's publications span virology and immunology journals, including Journal of Virology, Vaccine, and Immunology. Despite the absence of detectable antiviral antibodies, his studies highlight the potential of DNA vaccines to confer protection against FIV. Collaborative efforts with researchers like Margaret Hosie and John Neil underscore interdisciplinary approaches in veterinary virology.
