Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
When naïve T cells are activated and clonally expand, the progeny differentiates into functionally distinct states or ‘subsets’. The differentiation state of a T cells is indicative of its functional and migratory properties, and T cell differentiation states are linked to clinical outcome, for example, after infection, adoptive T cell therapy or transplantation. It has, however, been difficult to translate T cell behavior across species. I will be presenting a practical strategy to facilitate two-way crosstalk between human and mouse settings, and propose a new conceptual framework to study T cell diversification.
