Second Annual Regulatory Cells in Autoimmunity Event: Analysing and moderating function, London, UK
4 December 2012 - 4 December 2012
United Kingdom
The Second Annual Regulatory Cells in Autoimmunity Event: Analysing and moderating function will take place on 4 December 2012 in London, UK.
The healthy human body is equipped with a powerful set of tools for resisting the onslaught of invading microorganisms (such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites). Unfortunately, this set of tools, known as the immune system, sometimes goes awry and attacks the body itself. These misdirected immune responses are referred to as autoimmunity, which can be spotted thanks to the presence of autoantibodies or T lymphocytes reactive with host antigens.
This event will be a forum for researchers to discuss how cells respond to their environment in order to dampen down inflammation and what goes wrong in autoimmunity. Novel insights into positive and negative feedback mechanisms that help balance the immune environment will also be reviewed.For further information, please visit
