Keystone Symposia on B Cells at the Intersection of Innate and Adaptive Immunity (E3)
MTC's Mikael Karlsson is on the organizing committee for the ongoing Keystone Symposia on B Cells at the Intersection of Innate and Adaptive Immunity (E3) May 29th-June 2nd at Clarion Hotel, Stockholm.
In the last few years, the role of B cells in the innate immune response and effector functions beyond antibody production has started to be appreciated. This meeting puts emphasis on newly discovered roles of B cells and discusses novel concepts in B cell biology that will open new venues to design B cell-directed treatments. It will thus highlight the function of B cells as general responders and regulators of inflammation and contrast this to their function and latest discoveries of their role as antibody producers.
