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
A hallmark of the adaptive immune system is its ability to generate long-lasting memory that protects against reinfections. In antibody-mediated responses, memory is maintained by plasma cells and memory B-cells (MBCs), with a diverse pool of MBCs being important for responses to new pathogen variants. Mechanisms underlying MBCs’ longevity, rapid responsiveness, and diversity remain largely unknown. This talk will focus on published and unpublished results that unravel key aspects of MBC heterogeneity and how this influences their function and maintenance.
