OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Use of network theory to define optimal HIV immune targets: Implications for immunologic control and immunogen design
Viral diversity remains a major challenge to HIV vaccine development. By applying concepts rooted in network theory to viral protein structure, we have developed an algorithm that identifies amino acid residues critical to the structure and function of HIV proteins. Functional data from persons who control HIV without medications demonstrate preferential CD8+ T cell recognition of highly networked residues predicted by the algorithm. Application of this knowledge to inform a rational T cell-based vaccine for HIV will be discussed.
