Myeloid-derived Trefoil Factor 2 (TFF2) controls epithelial regeneration at the mucosal interface
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
Trefoil factor proteins, an enigmatic family of mucosal cytokines, are known to promote tissue repair. Despite being discovered decades ago, not much was known until recently about how Trefoil proteins work. Dr. Herbert ’ s laboratory has discovered that these proteins regulate immune responses in allergic asthma and hookworm infection, and that they trigger the regeneration of epithelial cells.
De ’ Broski Herbert is an Associate Professor of Immunology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. He received his B.S. in microbiology from Xavier University i...

A Shared Program Underlying Early T Cell and Innate Lymphocyte Development.
Immunology Interest Group
Avinash Bhandoola received a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1994, and did a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Alfred Singer at NCI focused on the rules underlying linage choice. He joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania in 2001, received tenure in 2007, and was promoted to full professor in 2012. His laboratory identified early precursors of T cells in the bone marrow and thymus, described the mechanisms used by precursor cells to migrate to the thymus, and studied transcription factors that imposed the T cell program. Recently, his work also implicated transcription fa...

How to Maintain Serum Antibody Titers?
Immunology Interest Group
David Allman is an Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He described what are now called transitional B cells during his PhD. This work showed that B cell maturation and formation of the B cell repertoire is completed in peripheral lymphoid tissues rather than in the bone marrow. Later, working with Warren Pear, he established roles for Notch in T lineage commitment. Recently he has focused on antibody secreting plasma cells, and has discovered that T-c...
