The multiple cell types and functions in such interactions are increasingly seen as the key to understanding how antigens delivered to body surfaces elicit either immunity, tolerance or autoimmunity. In the first lecture Dr. Hayday presented an overview of recent exciting discoveries in our quest to determine how the mucosal immune system protects you.
The second lecture represented recent and unpublished data on the role of signaling in T cell ontogeny.
Recent work from this laboratory (Immunity (2000) 13: 677-689; EMBO J (2000) 19: 3337-3348) examines the role of key transcription factors such as NF-KB and pre-T cell receptor expression in T Cell development.
