报告人简介：

Prof. Fu’s group is interested in defining the essential components of the lymphoid microenvironment required for the development and function of the immune system. Using a comprehensive system of knockout mice and receptor fusion proteins, they have found that lymphotoxin (LT) and TNF are essential for immune cell migrations and formation of lymphoid structures. In addition, their recent work indicates that ligands for LT receptor are essential for the generation and migration of autoreactive T cells. They are currently extending our research areas into other LT/TNF family members.
