Tissue Immunity at CNS borders
In person only
The central nervous system (CNS) has historically been viewed as a site devoid of immune cells and antibodies. I will discuss how our work has challenged this dogma, identifying meningeal plasma cells in homeostasis, as well as dural-associated lymphoid tissue (DALT) that can support the generation of adaptive immune responses within in the CNS.
