Investigation of the cross-talk between innate and adaptive immunity (X-talk)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The vertebrate immune system has long been considered as a bipartite entity encompassing two independent and isolated arms: innate immunity, providing the first line of defense, and adaptive immunity, responsible for memory. Recent evidence suggests that, in addition to their undisputed role in innate immunity, natural killer (NK) cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are important contrib ...
