Subject: Workshop Immunity + Breeding, Nov. 8-9, 2022 -
reminder
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 14:16:31 -0500
Dear colleagues,
This is to remind that the online workshop "Immunogenetics and breeding
in livestock species" will be held on November 8 and November 9, 2022, in
two afternoon sessions 14.00 – 18.00 (of CET).
The aim of the meeting is (1) to sum up the recent developments in
immunogenetics of livestock species and (2) to explore the possibilities
for the transfer of this knowledge into the livestock breeding for health
traits. In particular, which possibilities for the integration with the
algorithms for animal evaluation and with breeding schemes exist.
The keynote lectures include:
Prof Sabine Hammer, University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna:
"The swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) complex: molecular genetics and
importance in veterinary vaccine research",
Prof Petr Horin, Veterinary University, Brno:
"Genetics and comparative genomics of NK cell receptors",
Prof Ottmar Distl, University of Hannover:
"Screening selection signatures associated with disease resistance in
sheep using whole genome sequencing data",
Prof Dirk Werling, Royal Veterinary College, London:
"Species and breed-specific innate pattern recognition receptors: an
immunologist’s plea to take genetics more into account when designing
vaccines",
Dr Terhi Iso-Touru, Natural Resources Institute - LUKE, Jokioinen:
"Bovine mammary epithelial cells response to two different mastitis
pathogens",
Prof Yana Safonova, John Hopkins University, Baltimore:
"Variations in cattle antibody repertoires correlate with immune
responses to vaccines against the bovine respiratory disease",
Dr Steven Fiddaman, University of Oxford:
"Investigating the immunogenetics and function of Toll-like receptors in
large genomic datasets".
Registration and abstract submission is possible on the web page of the
Institute of Animal Science (https://vuzv.cz/2022/10/11/), via the online
