Non-conventional T cells in health and disease Non-conventional T lymphocytes are cells of the immune system that bridge the innate and adaptive immune system and are important sentinels against pathogens at mucosal surfaces. These non-conventional T cells are not restricted by classical MHC and include mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT), gamma delta γδ and natural killer (NK) T cells. They display several features associated with innate immune cells and are rapidly activated by recognition of conserved, stress-induced, self, and microbial ligands. We will bring together experts in mouse, farm animal and human immunology to discuss the role of these cells in health and disease. Registration Meeting details and registration BSI members - £50 Non-members - £75 Please note that there are VVN funded ECR travel scholarships to the value to £150 to support attendance to this meeting. The deadline has been extended to 4pm on Sunday 9 December 2018.
