Understanding dendritic cells and their ability to regulate immune responses

Dendritic cells (DC) continue to provoke much interest amongst immunologists by virtue of their key role in a number of aspects of the immune response. This meeting addressed some of these and covered topics such as: types of DC, DC markers and maturation, the importance of DC in innate and adaptive immunity and their use in immunotherapy. There were opportunities for speakers, audience and commercial companies to interact throughout the day. Meeting’s Chair: Dr Catherine Derry, Science Communicator.
