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
Seminar by Prof Shane Crotty "Adaptive Immunity and Immune Memory to SARS-CoV-2 after COVID-19"
This seminar will be held virtually via Zoom at 3pm and is open to Oxford university members only, registration is at: https://medsci.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwlde2rrTsoHN1B1isukPP7pB2XFMafe_WV
Understanding immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 is critical for improving diagnostics and vaccines, and for assessing the likely future course of the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyzed multiple compartments of circulating immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 from 188 COVID-19 cases, including 43 samples at > 6 months post-infection. By studying antibody, memory B cell, CD4+ T cell, and CD8+ T cell memory to SARS-CoV-2 in an integrated manner, we observed that each component of SARS-CoV-2 immune memory exhibited distinct kinetics (Dan et al., Science 2021). I will also present a working model of the relationship between adaptive immune responses and COVID-19 disease.
