OxTalks is Changing
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 immune system must simultaneously deal with both innocuous and harmful antigens that must be processed, transported to the lymph node and transferred to lymph node resident cells. These cells which remain distal to the site of challenge perform crucial functions in maintaining tolerance and in promoting robust immunity without access to the normal cues found at the challenge site. We have previously shown that migratory dendritic cells transfer tumour derived antigen at tight synapses to their lymph node resident counterparts but now using a novel reporter strain of Influenza A infection we have studied how information about an antigen’s background is co-transferred to these distal cells to keep a tight circuit between tissue and node. Furthermore we have investigated how this leads to the spread of tumour derived dysfunction to the lymph node.
