OxTalks is Changing
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
Seminar by Dr Ed Roberts 'BYOB: Organising Appropriate Gatherings in the Lymph Node'

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.
