Description:	Next week's IIG seminar will be by one of our own investigators, Susan Moir, a staff scientist and expert virologist working at the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, NIAID. In her work in collaboration with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Susan has cleverly characterized immune responses in HIV-infected individuals, both before and after treatment with antiretroviral drugs. Among her discoveries in the field is the finding of various B cell anomalies that occur under high viremic conditions. She has recently reported the existence of a pool of B cells with an exhausted phenotype and reduced memory capability in HIV-infected individuals. Come to see her seminar and open your eyes to the B cell side of retroviral infection! http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/labs/aboutlabs/lir/immunopathogenesisSection/fauci.htm For more information, visit The Immunology Interest Group
