OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The T lymphocyte response to pathogens is shaped by the T cell microenvironment and key environmental signals are provided by amino acids, glucose and oxygen. Environmental sensors in T cells include the nutrient-sensing serine/threonine kinases, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 and signaling pathways regulated by intracellular protein O-GlcNAcylation. Other environmental sensors are transcription factors such as c-myc and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha.The present talk will explore the molecular basis for the impact of environmental signals on the differentiation of conventional T cell receptor αβ T cells and how the T cell response to immune stimuli can coordinate the T cell response to environmental cues.
