Demystifying Fundamental Mechanisms of Allogeneic Rejection to Understand Immune Responses & Enhance Therapeutic Success
Time: 9:00 am
day: Pre-Conference Workshops - Track A AM
Details:
As a central hurdle in the field, allogeneic rejection is a complex process with little understanding of the mechanisms behind it. Here, participants will gain an understanding of the immune pathways involved in allogeneic rejection and discuss emerging research aimed at improving the viability and efficacy of allogeneic therapies.
Join this workshop to:
- Define the biological mechanisms behind allogeneic rejection, including immune system recognition, activation, and effector phases
- Explore the role of T-cells, natural killer cells, and antibody-mediated responses in allogeneic rejection
- Understand the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and minor histocompatibility antigens (mHAs) and their roles in immune recognition of donor cells
- Review the latest research and potential future strategies for overcoming allogeneic rejection
