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
Germinal centers (GCs) are microanatomical sites of B cell clonal expansion and antibody affinity maturation. Driving the GC reaction are a specialized subset of T cells called T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. Tfh engage in cognate ineractions with GC B Cells, leading to GC expansion. However, it has become evident in later times that the GC harbors multiple subsets of T cells, and that they serve a role in controlling the rise and fall of the GC. We are investigating the role of different T cells in GC kinetics, and how this ultimately effects the quality of GC B cells.
