OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Inhibitory Immune Receptors or Immune Switches? The Role of “Inhibitory” KIR Immune Receptor Interactions with HLA-Class I in Chronic Inflammation and autoimmunity. Lessons from HLA-B27 and Inflammatory arthritis.
Status: This talk is in preparation - details may change
Chronic immune inflammation results from a failure to resolve persistent inflammatory stimuli. The resolution of inflammation is critically dependent on the carefully balanced orchestration of immune responses. “Inhibitory” KIR immune receptor interactions with HLA-class I have been implicated in diverse chronic inflammatory disorders including spondyloarthritis, Crohn’s disease and Pemphigus vulgaris. I will discuss how “inhibitory” KIR immune receptor interactions could promote inflammation using knowledge gained from our studies on HLA-B27 binding to immune receptors.
