Kurzbeschreibung: Suppressor T cells, after several decade in the dark, are now very much back in focus as key immunoregulatory T cells. Despite extensive interest and research in this area, many of the precise characterisics of these naturally anergic and suppressive cells are unclear, namely their specific markers, the importance of cytokines and costimulatory molecules in their action, the ligands on APC and their propagation in an antigen specific manner. Similarly, the importance of their role in early embryonic development, allergy, autoimmunity and transplantation is becoming increasingly clear. This meeting will illuminate the latest findings in many of these areas, and will provide an ideal forum for discussion with scientists currently working on regulatory T cells and those seeking to set up research in this area.
