Understanding dendritic cells and their ability to regulate immune responses

 

Friday 16th November 2007, BioPark, Welwyn Garden City, Herts, UK

 

"Dendritic cells continue to provoke much interest amongst immunologists by virtue of their key role in a number of aspects of the immune response. In this meeting, we will aim to address some of these and will cover topics such as: types of DC, DC markers and maturation, the importance of DC in innate and adaptive immunity and their use in immunotherapy. Opportunities for speakers, audience and commercial companies to interact will be provided throughout the day"Chair: Dr Catherine Derry, Science Communicator

·         NOD2 signalling in human dendritic cells Dr Alison Simmons, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK

·         Dendritic cells, HIV and vaccines Dr Steve Patterson, Imperial College School of Medicine, London, UK

·         Human mucosal immunology: dendritic cells, adipose tissue and immunoregulation Professor Stella Knight, Imperial College, London, UK
