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.

Seminar by Prof Paul Klenerman 'Taking Tmic'

Tissues such as the gut and liver are enriched for “unconventional” or innate-like T cells. These cells manage to balance the competing demands of responding to microbes when they are dangerous/invasive, but otherwise maintaining a healthy homeostasis with commensals, using a combination of signals from their TCR and from cytokines. MAIT cells are one example of such cells. In this talk, I’ll discuss a new version of unconventional or innate-like behaviour shown by CD4+ T cells found in the human gut and their parallels in mice. These commensal-reactive, innate-like cells are restricted by MHC Class II and are currently termed “Tmic” cells. I’ll introduce this work which was a collaboration between the Kennedy and the TGU and discuss the implications in health and disease.
