SUNDAY TABLE OF CONTENTS Welcomes WELCOME BY THE ECI ORGANIZERS Dear Colleagues and Friends, with great pleasure we welcome you on behalf of the Austrian Society of Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI) to the 4th European Congress of Immunology (ECI) in Vienna from September 6-9, 2015. After the scientifically and socially very successful congresses in Paris, Berlin and Glasgow, we are honored to host the 4th ECI, which is organized under the auspices of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), in the heart of Europe. We have received more than 3.000 abstracts from Europe and Overseas and are especially proud and very thankful for the large international recognition of the 4th ECI, which goes far beyond the boundaries of Europe. In fact, more than 100 abstracts have been submitted by colleagues from both USA and Brazil, more than 70 abstracts have been submitted by colleagues from Australia and more than 60 abstracts have been submitted by colleagues from China. We take these record-high numbers as clear indication for the international attractiveness of European immunology research and realize that ECI congresses are receiving worldwide attention. The Scientific Program Committee has taken much effort to generate a timely and highly stimulating program consisting of four tracks covering the most recent developments in basic and clinical immunology. Exciting latest results and novel developments will be presented in 46 keynote lectures and symposia. At this point, we cordially thank all the members of the Scientific Program Committee, the Steering Committee and the Local Organizing Committee as well as the 93 reviewers for their invaluable contributions by critically evaluating all submitted abstracts. The committee members have selected 432 abstracts to be orally presented and the most excellent amongst them will be featured in specially dedicated ‘bright sparks’ workshops. In addition, more than 2.500 abstracts will be presented and discussed in 126 guided poster sessions during the fourday congress. We also express our deep gratitude to all related Societies dealing with immunology, clinical immunology, allergology and applied sciences, who have shown enormous enthusiasm in organizing additional joint symposia with EFIS, amongst them the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), the European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID), the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), the American Association of Immunologists (AAI), the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), the World Allergy Organization (WAO), the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) and the Society for Mucosal Immunology (SMI). In addition to this fruitful cooperation the communication and collaboration with the related industry has been outstanding. As a result, more than 55 partners from industry will attend as exhibitors and a considerable number of company sponsored symposia and ‘progress in technology’ sessions will introduce you to the latest developments in flow cytometry, immune-adsorbers, vaccination against infectious diseases and tumors and allergy diagnosis amongst other topics. Moreover, the scientific program is framed by a considerable number of very interesting satellite symposia and meetings taking place either shortly before or directly after the main congress. On top of that, we invite you to the ‘EFIS Award Lectures’ on Monday 7th September presenting the recipients of the prestigious Ita Askonas Prize and the ACTERIA Doctoral and Early Career Research Prizes. The winners will give a short presentation about their awarded work. Finally, on Wednesday 9th September, the ‘First EFIS President’s Symposium’, convened and chaired by outgoing EFIS President Lorenzo Moretta, will explore ‘NK Cells and NK Cell-based Therapies of Leukemias’. 2 ECI 2015 • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • 4th European Congress of Immunology • Final Program www.eci-vienna2015.org Welcomes WELCOME BY THE ECI ORGANIZERS The support of the participation of early career scientists at events like the 4th ECI represents a cornerstone of EFIS’ mission. Accordingly, EFIS has awarded more than 240 travel bursaries to European early career scientists. Similarly, the American Association of Immunologists (AAI), the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) and ÖGAI provided grants of their own (40, 10 and 10, respectively) to applicants from developing countries. Moreover, many national societies have allocated substantial support to stimulate and promote the participation of their younger members at ECI 2015. To further promote early career scientists special lectures will be provided, e.g. ‘How to publish in scientific journals’ and ‘Women in immunology’. In addition, early career scientists will have the opportunity to meet keynote lecture and symposia speakers in an interactive discussion atmosphere during breakfasts. Furthermore, guided poster sessions chaired by senior scientists and conducted at time-slots not interfering with workshops will encourage active discussion of scientific results to acknowledge the large contribution of early career scientists to this congress and to provide a stimulating feedback atmosphere for their scientific work. The best poster presenters within each session will compete for 12 poster prizes to be awarded during the closing ceremony. Outstanding immunological research has a long and strong tradition in Vienna. In fact, More than one hundred years ago, the Viennese Nobel laureate Karl Landsteiner discovered the blood groups and Clemens von Pirquet coined the term ‘Allergy’ in Vienna. Vienna’s contributions to the emerging field of immunology and allergology research at the turn of the last century will be high-lighted by a special historic exhibition, kindly curated by Johann Eibl and Othmar Förster, in the main lobby of the Austria Center Vienna. The exhibition will also be open to the lay public. We are indebted to the curators as well as the institutional and corporate sponsors of this interesting and eye-catching exhibition. After the opening keynote lecture given by the doyen of B cell biology, Klaus Rajewsky, on ‘The B cell receptor in B cell development, memory and malignancies’ we invite you to join us for the networking mixer in the Austria Center Vienna, which will take place immediately after the opening ceremony. Moreover, please consider to exchange thoughts and scientific opinions with your colleagues and friends on Tuesday, September 8, at the occasion of the Heurigen Networking Evening in Gumpoldskirchen. We express our deep gratitude to all those individuals and institutions, who made the 4th ECI possible. Many thanks to all committee members, who continuously contributed to the organization of this congress during the last years. A big thank you also to the generous support from our corporate partners, without their contributions it would have been impossible to put such a fantastic program together. Last but not least, we would like to thank the City of Vienna for kindly hosting us. Finally, we hope you will feel very comfortable in Vienna and we wish you a most memorable scientific, social and cultural stay! Winfried F. Pickl, MD President 4th ECI www.eci-vienna2015.org Barbara Bohle, PhD President Scientific Program Committee 4th ECI Rudolf Valenta, MD President Local Organizing Committee 4th ECI Final Program • 4th European Congress of Immunology • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • ECI 2015 3 Welcomes WELCOME BY THE EFIS PRESIDENT Dear Friends and Delegates, As President of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), it is a distinct pleasure and honor for me to welcome you to the Fourth European Congress of Immunology – ECI 2015! The ECI, the venue of which is selected every three years (six years in advance) through a bidding process by the Federation’s 31 Member Societies, is the EFIS flagship event. At the 2nd ECI held in Berlin in 2009, EFIS Members overwhelmingly chose the bid submitted by the Austrian Society of Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI) to host ECI 2015 in Vienna. And they did well to do so: I am convinced – after having worked closely with our colleagues of the ÖGAI over the past three years – that they are beyond worthy of the trust that EFIS Member Societies have placed in them! Our Austrian hosts – so admirably coordinated by Winfried Pickl, Barbara Bohle and Rudolf Valenta, respectively, Presidents of the ECI 2015 Steering Committee, Scientific Program Committee and Local Organizing Committee – have put together what is poised to be a truly meaningful event. A stellar lineup of speakers will explore over the next three days – in four Keynote addresses, more than 40 symposia and 72 workshops – the most recent advances in the fields of innate immunity, adaptive immunity, diseases of the immune system and immune interventions. And whether you have a broad-ranging interest in the multiple facets of modern immunological research, or your focus lies in a particular niche, you will surely come away from ECI 2015 satisfied by the fine balance between basic and applied/translational research contributions that the organizers have assembled. Also – in keeping with the mission of EFIS to foster young scientists – early career scientists will also take center stage in a number of specially convened sessions: “poster walks” will be conducted by leading scientists to encourage dynamic interaction with presenters, from among whom the 12 best will be selected; the “Bright Sparks Workshops” will feature the authors of the best submitted abstracts scored and selected by European experts; and the ACTERIA Doctoral and Early Career Research Prizes awarded by EFIS will be presented for the second time. In addition to these, EFIS will acknowledge the work of the third EFIS-EJI Ita Askonas Prize, awarded to a prominent European female research group leader. And beyond the wealth of science that will be explored in detail over the next three days in the halls of the Austria Center, we cannot forget the cultural and social delights that Vienna – the capital of Mitteleuropa, the City of Music, the Imperial City – has to offer. Overall, as an ECI 2015 delegate, rest assured that a scientifically, socially and culturally rewarding experience is waiting for you! In closing, I cannot help but highlight that 2015 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of EFIS, which will be commemorated, among other occasions, with the inaugural “EFIS President’s Symposium”. On behalf of EFIS and the entirety of its membership, and together with our colleagues of the ÖGAI, I am delighted that you have chosen to take part in what is arguably “the” showcase for the European immunological community and that this year promises to be a truly memorable event. Lorenzo Moretta President, EFIS 4 ECI 2015 • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • 4th European Congress of Immunology • Final Program www.eci-vienna2015.org Welcomes WELCOME IN AUSTRIA Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Participants, I would like to welcome you to Austria and the beautiful city of Vienna. Medicine has a very long tradition in Vienna. Today we have one of the world’s leading medical universities and many research institutions of international acclaim. It is a great honor that experts of immunology from all over the globe gather in Vienna for the 4th European Congress of Immunology to discuss the important issues of immunology. The huge range of symposia, workshops and poster sessions will give the experts the opportunity to discuss in-depth new forms of immune interventions, technological innovations and research results. I am convinced that the scientific progress will be for the benefit of thousands of patients who suffer from immune-mediated diseases and immunodeficiency. I wish all participants a successful conference with many fruitful discussions! Yours sincerely, Dr.in Sabine Oberhauser, MAS Minister of Health Federal Ministry of Health Austria www.eci-vienna2015.org Final Program • 4th European Congress of Immunology • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • ECI 2015 5 Welcomes WELCOME IN VIENNA Dear participants of ECI 2015, As host city of the 4th European Congress of Immunology, Vienna combines two key traditions: its traditional role as an international meeting place for outstanding scientists, and the excellent worldwide reputation of the Vienna School of Medicine. For our city, this reputation is both an honour and a mission for the future. The important fact that this year’s ECI is hosted by the Austrian Society of Allergology and Immunology serves as yet another proof of our traditionally close connection to science and research. The network of medical services available to all population groups is a good indicator for assessing a society. Vienna has an excellent international track record here, which is also due to research in immunology and allergology - two medical fields of increasing importance. The ECI is bound to provide new momentum in these fields as it provides for an exchange of experiences, expert debates, and initiatives to promote education and training. This is what matters after all. I would like to wish all participants an inspiring and interesting congress, and hope that you will also keep good memories of your stay in Vienna.

EFIS/EJI ITA ASKONAS AWARD Dr. Karin Tarte, Director of the Microenvironement and Cancer Unit of the University of Rennes Faculty of Medicine (U 917 INSERM), has been chosen as the 2015 Laureate of the Ita Askonas Prize, awarded by EFIS together with its Official Journal, European Journal of Immunology (EJI), in recognition of outstanding leadership by a female immunologist over the past three years. The prize was established by the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS) and the European Journal of Immunology (EJI) in order to acknowledge female group leaders in immunology who have run an independent laboratory for a minimum of four and no more than eight years. The board of EFIS had decided to establish this award also in consideration of gender-specific differences of career opportunities, such as possible delays due to pregnancy and motherhood. This prize consists of a EUR 20,000 cash award plus travel support to attend the European Congress of Immunology (ECI). The laureate must be prepared to present her work at the ECI. The EFIS-EJI Ita Askonas Prize, named after the renowned scientist who over a career spanning 60 years so heavily influenced the field of immunology and who maintained that "good science gets recognition regardless of the sex of the scientist", was awarded for the first time at the ECI 2009 in Berlin. The winner was Prof. Fiona Powrie from Oxford, UK. The second prize, awarded during the ECI 2012 in Glasgow, went to Dr. Francesca Granucci of the University of Milano-Bicocca. www.eci-vienna2015.org Final Program • 4th European Congress of Immunology • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • ECI 2015 13 Congress Information AWARDS AND TRAVEL GRANTS EFIS-IL MOST CITED PAPER AWARDS EFIS/IL Most Cited Original Paper Award Bermejo, P., Martín-Aragón, S., Benedí, J., Susín, C., Felici, E., Gil, P., Ribera, J.M., Villar, A.M.

Posters need to be removed on the day of presentation between 18:00 – 19:30 hrs strict (16:00 – 17:45 hrs on Wednesday). ECI will not be held liable for personal injuries or for loss of or damage to property incurred by participants at the ECI 2015. Participants are encouraged to purchase insurance to cover loss incurred in the event of cancellation, medical expenses, or damage to or loss of personal effects when travelling outside of their own countries. ECI cannot be held liable for any hindrance or disruption of the ECI Congress 2015 proceedings arising from natural, political, social or economic events or other unforeseen incidents beyond its control. Registration of a participant implies acceptance of this condition. Access after 19:30 hrs (17:45 hrs on Wednesday) is not possible! Posters not removed until 19:30 hrs on the day of presentation (17:45 hrs on Wednesday), will be taken down by the staff of the conference center and will not be stored or sent to the authors after the meeting. Photographing and Recording Taking photographs or making any other form of electronic recording (also with mobile phones) during the sessions in the meeting rooms is forbidden. Safety and Welfare Vienna can be considered just as safe as other comparable cities in Europe. Use of common sense is however (always) required. Unfortunately, experience has shown that some basic precautionary measures should always be kept in mind in any city: - Do not carry important items like flight tickets, passports etc. with you when visiting the congress or strolling through the city, leave them in the hotel safe during your stay. Rather carry a Xerox copy of your passport or an identity card with you. - Try not to carry all documents, money, credit cards and other essential items and valuables in one bag. If it is lost or stolen, everything will be gone and might be difficult to replace on short notice, especially passports and visa to return to your country of residence. - Take off your name badge when leaving the congress venue. - In heavily frequented tourist zones, be aware of attemps of scam and pickpocketing. ECI / EFIS holds a very firm position against any form of discrimination or untoward behaviour by Congress participants. If any participant feels that they have been subjected to any inappropriate behaviour, please report it immediately to a senior member of Congress staff at the General Information Desk in the Registration Area and the matter will be referred to the local authorities for further investigation. www.eci-vienna2015.org Session Attendance Sessions may fill up quickly. Please arrive in good time for the start of the session. Due to security regulations, hosts and hostesses are instructed to restrict access once the maximum capacity of the room is reached. Society Village The society village is located in the exhibition hall.

Your colleagues can also join you at the ECI 2015, online and live via our twitter stream. Just invite everyone to follow us @2015ECI INFORMATION FOR EARLY CAREER SCIENTISTS HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FIRST ECI CONGRESS 1. Make a plan 5. Ask Questions Spend some time thinking about the most important sessions and talks that you would like to see. The meeting program is also available online. Don’t be shy about asking questions at the microphone! Everyone in the audience is there to learn – and so if you have a question, there’s every chance that others will have the same question. Familiarize yourself with the color coded session types: different types are designed for a different audience. Avoid being disappointed by a session that will be too basic or too specialized for your interests, despite an interesting title. 2. Pace Yourself The meeting has a packed schedule. You will probably find something interesting and useful from 8:30 until 19.30 hrs each day – but we would not necessarily recommend to do so! You will get saturated pretty quickly, and by Monday or Tuesday your ability to absorb useful information will be severely diminished. Again, prioritize what is the most important. 6. Get There Early! This is a principle that will serve you well on many fronts. We have literally thousands of people attending the meeting, and yet some people are surprised to find lines at the registration desk on Sunday afternoon. You will not want to miss the opening ceremony – so get there early (registration opens at 10:00 on Sunday morning) – and is open all day Sunday to Wednesday. It is similar for the queues for food at the Networking Mixer reception (Monday evening). Just think, with 3000+ people, it is IMPOSSIBLE for everyone to get served immediately. 3. Parallel Events When you attend a session you might find that not all of the session is relevant or interesting to you, or you might have spotted a talk in another parallel session room that you’d like to see. It is completely okay to leave one session and join another (but etiquette dictates that you wait for the end of a talk to leave / join the audience). 4. Interact Make the most of the opportunity to network. Most people (junior or senior) are delighted to meet new faces and to chat about their work – so don’t be afraid to approach those big names and introduce yourself, and just start chatting! 24 7. Stay cool and relax! Sounds cheesy…. But the meeting is extremely busy, and you could try and push yourself to run between every single talk that you want to see, to try and see all 2500+ posters, to go to every symposium, workshop and so on….. but you’ll be exhausted! It is far better to have come away with some new friends, have chatted with a ‘big name’ in your field, and have two or three ‘nuggets’ of information that will shape your research. 8. Business Cards Although these are becoming a dying breed, we noted that having business cards ready to exchange was helpful, especially when another meeting attendee passes you theirs, but it is a matter of personal preference. ECI 2015 • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • 4th European Congress of Immunology • Final Program www.eci-vienna2015.org Congress Information INFORMATION FOR SPEAKERS AND POSTER PRESENTERS ORAL PRESENTATIONS Speaking Time The chairpersons of your session will be strict in allowing no more than the time allotted to present your work. Remember to allow some time for chairperson's introduction, questions and discussion of your presentation as well as the changeover of speakers. Commercial Disclosure information Due to EACCME regulations, authors are requested to disclose possible conflicts of interest on the first slide. A conflict of interest is any situation in which a speaker or immediate family members have interests, and those may cause a conflict with the current presentation. Conflicts of interest do not preclude the delivery of the talk, but should be explicitly declared. These may include financial interests (eg. owning stocks of a related company, having received honoraria, consultancy fees), research interests (research support by grants or otherwise), organizational interests and gifts. If you have nothing to disclose, please state “I have no commercial disclosure”. Projection and Technical Setting PowerPoint is the only communication tool available in all session halls. Overhead projection, slide projection or flipcharts are not available. 1.Speakers are kindly asked to observe that, in principle, only computers provided by the congress may be used for showing presentations. All PowerPoint presentations must be handed in at the speaker preview. Please contact the technicians in the speaker preview at least 2 hours prior to your session if you absolutely have to use your own computer. 2.All presentations are loaded into a PowerPoint handling system that will store and distribute your presentation to the session hall in time for your session. 3.All PowerPoint presentations should be handed in at least 2 hours before the session starts. 4.Please check your presentation carefully on the preview room computer assigned by the staff before the final sign off. 5.The professional staff of the speaker preview will load your presentation into the system so that it will be available on the computer in your session hall when you come to speak. 6.If you are doing more than one speech during the congress, you may upload all your presentations at the same time and they will be sent to their corresponding session halls at the time of your sessions. 7.The PowerPoint handling and distribution system is optimized for MS PowerPoint 2007 (Office 2007) and “*.pdf” (Adobe Acrobat)-files. The uploading of “DVD-Movies” is not supported. 8.The supported data media are: CD, DVD (as Data-storage-medium) and USB-Memory Key. All needed files (including the movie files!) - have to be saved on the data media. Presentations can also be taken off speakers notebooks at the Preview centre. 9.The fonts that are used in the presentations should be “Latin-based fonts“. If the speaker needs special fonts, they should be stored as “embedded fonts“ with the presentation (File -> save as “name of presentation“ and under “tools“ ->save options mark the checkbox “embed True type fonts“ and select “embed all characters“). 10.When using mathematical symbols please use these which are available under Latin fonts (unicode or DOS: Western Europe). These can be shown without any problems in Office 2007. 11.As format for embedded movies “MPEG2 - movies” are preferred (but can also be *.avi, *.wmv ). If Codecs are used, the Code package DIVx in the current version should be chosen. 12.Presentations should be saved as “*.ppt“, “*.pptx” (= PowerPoint) or “*.pps“,*.ppsx“ (=PowerPoint Slideshow) file and movies as separate files on the data media. 13.The computers and projectors will be set up and optimised for 1024 x 768 resolution (ratio 4 : 3). www.eci-vienna2015.org Final Program • 4th European Congress of Immunology • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • ECI 2015 25 Congress Information INFORMATION FOR SPEAKERS AND POSTER PRESENTERS POSTER PRESENTATIONS Schedule for display, mounting and removal Posters will be changed every day.

PROGRAM ECI 2015 CONTENT TRACKS The scientific program of the ECI 2015 has been structured into four main tracks: Track A – Adaptive Immunity Track B – Diseases of the Immune System Track C – Innate Immunity Track D – Disease Intervention Additionally a fifth track (Track E) combining topics which do not fit within the four main tracks was introduced. The 4-track program will streamline keynote lectures, symposia, workshops as well as guided poster walks in a way that will promote easy cross talk between the basic topics and types of sessions planned. SESSION TYPE DESCRIPTION Some sessions fill up quickly. Arrive early to guarantee your entry and avoid disappointment! Invited Program Keynote Lectures (KL.A.1 / KL.B.1 / KL.C.1 / KL.D.1) The keynote lectures are the most prestigious sessions of the congress. These are exhaustive reviews of major subjects and state of the art techniques within the field, addressed to all participants. Speakers in keynote lectures are invited and are among the most renowned in their field of expertise. Keynote lectures are scheduled at “prime time” in the program in order to achieve maximal attendance. EFIS President`s Symposium (EP.01) The EFIS President`s Symposium is a newly introduced format which will focus on the research area of the current EFIS president. EFIS Awards Lectures (EF.01) The work of the laureate of the EFIS/EJI Ita Askonas Award as well as the Acteria Prize winners (ACTERIA Doctoral Thesis Prizes and ACTERIA Early Career Research Prizes) are presented within this session. EFIS-IL Awards Poster Presentations (EFIS-IL.01-02) The awards were established by the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS) with general support from Immunology Letters, in order to recognize the most often cited original paper and review, respectively, within the first 3 years after publication, published in Immunology Letters. Symposia (S.A.01-06 / S.B.01-06 / S.C.01-06 / S.D.01-06) The symposia are state-of the art educational sessions in which invited speakers share their newest results with other researchers on a given topic. The aim is to reflect and compare data with other perhaps contradictory results and to discuss new hypotheses and concepts for further research with well-established colleagues. In every concurrent symposium three 20+5-minute lectures will be presented that provide an update and understanding of new developments and innovations in a certain research area. Women in Immunology (WO.01) Gender imbalance in science (and society) is a long-standing issue that has moved into the spotlight in the European Union in recent years. This symposium highlights the historical perspective of exclusion of women in science and discusses the current situation of women in immunology. The symposium is supposed to increase visibility of women and their achievements in science and especially within the field of immunology. A round table with all speakers and chairpersons will discuss the most important points raised during the presentations, the most urgent goals and the most achievable goals as well as the means to achieve these goals. Scientific Writing Session (SW.01) This session, which is dedicated primarily for PhD or MD students/early postdocs, will provide examples and tips of good scientific writing. 36 ECI 2015 • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • 4th European Congress of Immunology • Final Program www.eci-vienna2015.org Scientific Program HOW TO READ THE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM Joint Symposia (JS.01-09) Joint symposia are sessions in which the ECI joins forces with important international scientific societies to facilitate knowledge transfer and bring researchers from related disciplines and/or different continents together in order to foster exchange and networking across all borders. Joint society symposia consist of 3 speakers (30 minutes per talk) on a topic nominated by the partner society. Meet the Professor Breakfasts (ME.01-06) Informal breakfast event for early career scientists. The “Meet the Professor Breakfasts” will provide participants the opportunity to meet the most renowned senior scientists in an interactive and casual manner. Small breakfast will be provided. Registration is possible via email and onsite at a first-come-first-serve basis. Maximum amount of participants per breakfast: 30 Submitted Program Bright Sparks Workshops (BS.A.1 / BS.B.1 / BS.C.1 / BS.D.1) The most notable and exciting work from abstracts submitted to the congress by early career scientists will be honored with an oral presentation in one of the Bright Sparks Workshops. Presenters are expected to explain their work and answer questions from the audience. Workshops (WS.A.01-18 / WS:B.01-20 / WS.C.01-15 / WS.D.01-13 / WS.E.01-02) The most notable and exciting work from all abstracts submitted to the congress will be honored with an oral presentation in these sessions. Presenters are expected to explain their work and answer questions from the audience. Guided Poster Sessions (P.A.01-28 / P.B.01-42 / P.C.01-24 / P.D.01-27 / P.E.01-05) Posters are numerically the major scientific presentations of the meeting. The majority of congress attendees present a poster showing data and progress with their personal research. Posters offer an excellent opportunity for people interested in a particular topic to meet and exchange ideas and network with other researchers. Posters should NOT be used to advertise a product or service. Like a paper, a poster abstract should detail the focus of the presentation and the way(s) in which it contributes to the body of knowledge in its field. Guided Poster Sessions (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 09:45 to 11:15) will be chaired by ECI faculty members and senior researchers within the respective areas and should be used for communication and interaction with the poster presenters, who are requested to be at their posters at these times. Track A Adaptive Immunity Track B Diseases Track C Innate Immunity Track D Disease Intervention Track E Other Monday P.A.01 - 10 P.B.01 - 14 P.C.01 - 08 P.D.01 - 10 P.E.01 Tuesday P.A.11 - 19 P.B.15 - 28 P.C.09 - 16 P.D.11 - 18 P.E.02 - 03 Wednesday P.A.20 - 28 P.B.29 - 42 P.C.17 - 24 P.D.19 - 27 P.E.04 - 05 The chairpersons of the guided poster sessions will also evaluate all posters and will select the candidates for the ECI 2015 Poster Awards. Based on their evaluations a designated award jury will then select the awardees to receive the ECI 2015 Poster Awards. Schedule for display, mounting and removal Posters will be changed every day. Each poster will be on display during one of the following days: Monday, September 7 08:30 – 18:00 hrs Tuesday, September 8 08:30 – 18:00 hrs Wednesday, September 9 08:30 – 16:00 hrs Poster mounting on the respective days will be possible between 07:30 – 08:30 hrs strict. Posters need to be removed on the day of presentation between 18:00 – 19:30 hrs strict (16:00 – 17:45 hrs on Wednesday). Access after 19:30 hrs (17:45 hrs on Wednesday) is not possible! Posters not removed until 19:30 hrs on the day of presentation (17:45 hrs on Wednesday), will be taken down by the staff of the congress venue and will not be stored or sent to the authors after the meeting. All detailed information on the Guided Poster Sessions can be found in the separate poster information booklet. www.eci-vienna2015.org Final Program • 4th European Congress of Immunology • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • ECI 2015 37 Scientific Program HOW TO READ THE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM Sponsored Program Industry Sponsored (Lunch) Symposia (IS.01-07) Sponsors are approved as reputable and relevant by the Scientific Program Committee, but the detailed content of the presentations is proposed directly by the sponsors and under their responsibility.

Vienna has been a cradle of immunology research at the end of the 19th beginning of the 20th century. Some of the outstanding Austrian immunologists - from Karl Landsteiner to Clemens von Pirquet including their colleagues and contemporaries - will be commemorated in this exhibition, which has been curated by Johann Eibl, Othmar Förster and Winfried F. Pickl. Moreover, a short outlook describing major immunology research centers in the Vienna area in the 21st century will be provided. 20:30 – 20:45 20:45 – 21:00 21:00 – 22:00 www.eci-vienna2015.org Final Program • 4th European Congress of Immunology • September 6–9, Vienna/AT • ECI 2015 43 Program per Day SUNDAY, SEPT. 6, 2015 Keynote Lecture of the Day - KL.A.1 – Innate Immunity 18:00 – 19:00 Chairperson: Hall A Winfried Pickl; Vienna, Austria The B cell receptor in B cell development, memory and malignancies SUNDAY Klaus Rajewsky Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine Immune Regulation and Cancer; Berlin, Germany Klaus Rajewsky and collaborators developed a general method of targeted mutagenesis in mouse embryonic stem cells by introducing bacteriophage- and yeast-derived recombination systems, which opened the way for conditional gene targeting. Using this and other methods in their immunological work, they developed, together with N. A. Mitchison and N. K. Jerne, the antigen-bridge model of T-B cell cooperation, identified germinal centers as the sites of antibody somatic hypermutation, the B cell antigen receptor as a survival determinant of B cells, and the germinal center as a major site of human B cell lymphomagenesis, including Hodgkin lymphoma. Over the last years the work of his group has focused on mechanisms of microRNA control and the development of mouse models of human B cell lymphomas. Klaus Rajewsky obtained his degree in medicine (MD) at the University of Frankfurt in 1962. After postdoctoral work at the Institut Pasteur in Paris he built an immunology department at the Institute for Genetics at the University of Cologne where he stayed for 38 years, was the founding Program Coordinator of the EMBL Mouse Biology Program at Monterotondo near Rome, worked for 10 years at Harvard Medical School in Boston, and is since 2012 at the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin. Klaus Rajewsky won numerous scientific awards and is a member of several learned societies including the National Academy of Sciences of the USA and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Fiona Powrie Oxford, United Kingdom MONDAY Fiona Powrie is the Director of the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology and Principal Investigator in the Translational Gastroenterology Unit, University of Oxford. Her research interests include characterisation of the interaction between the intestinal microbiota and the host immune system and how this mutualistic relationship breaks down in inflammatory bowel disease. Her work has identified the functional role of regulatory T cells in intestinal homeostasis and shed light on their development and mechanism of action. She has also shown that both adaptive and innate immune mechanisms contribute to intestinal inflammation and identified the IL-23 pathway as a pivotal player in the pathogenesis of chronic intestinal inflammation. Her current work seeks to translate findings from model systems into the clinic in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Fiona Powrie received the Ita Askonas Award from the European Federation of Immunological Societies for her contribution to immunology in Europe and the Louis Jeantet Prize for Medicine 2012.

Precise writing doesn’t guarantee that your paper will be accepted – that depends on the significance and validity of the results – but it does create a good first impression. Importantly, clear writing prevents potential misunderstandings that could, in the worst case scenario, result in your paper being rejected. This session, which is aimed primarily at PhD students/early postdocs, will provide examples and tips of good scientific writing.

KL.D.1 – Disease Intervention 13:00 – 14:00 Chairperson: Hall A Anne Hosmalin; Paris, France Cancer Therapy Michael Milone University of Pennsylvania, Department of Pathology & Laboralory Medicine; Philadelphia, United States Dr. Milone received his M.D. and Ph.D. in experimental pathology in 1999 from Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School (formerly the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey). After an Internship in Internal Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, he completed post-graduate medical training in Clinical Pathology, Transfusion Medicine and Laboratory Toxicology. Following clinical training, Dr. Milone pursued post-doctoral research training in cancer immunology and adoptive immunotherapy with Dr. Carl June at the University of Pennsylvania where he performed basic research to develop CTL019, a genetically modified T cell therapy for B-cell leukemia and lymphoma that has been licensed by Novartis and undergoing early phase clinical testing. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. At present, Dr. Milone’s laboratory is focused on T cell biology and the development of new techniques for culturing and genetically modifying T lymphocytes for adoptive immunotherapy of cancer.

Every active member of any of our member societies is automatically considered an EFIS member and can as such benefit from the EFIS programs. Thus EFIS represents more than 14,000 individual immunologists. The main goals of EFIS are the support of immunological research and education as well as strengthening scientific interaction amongst its members. EFIS especially focuses on supporting early career scientists, e.g. through fellowships or travel grants. The EFIS was founded at a meeting held in Amsterdam in September 1975. In the beginning, the legal body of this society was the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). During a meeting held in Helsinki in 1991, it was decided to incorporate the articles in a notarial deed. EFIS was registered as an individual legal body on the 5th of April 1995, in the form of a society as was stated in the deed of notary Oosterdijk. See the EFIS website www.efis.org to read the statues of EFIS and the minutes of previous EFIS general assemblies. EFIS Board The EFIS Board is composed of the President, the Vice President, the Past President, the Treasurer and the Secretary General. The Board meets about three times a year. Board Members are elected by the EFIS General Assembly, composed of delegates of national societies (each society is entitled to have one delegate per 500 members), and they are appointed for a period of three years.

In fact, some outstanding immunologists around Karl Landsteiner, discoverer among many other immunologically relevant findings of human blood groups, and Clemens von Pirquet, who coined the term ‘allergy’, made ground-breaking contributions to early immunology research. It was the time when the concepts of active and passive vaccination started to become understood from a mechanistic point of view and first preventive but also therapeutic treatment modalities for the devastating infectious diseases threatening large parts of our population at that time became feasible. Some of the outstanding Austrian immunologists - from Karl Landsteiner to Clemens von Pirquet including their colleagues and contemporaries - will be commemorated in this exhibition, which has been curated by Johann Eibl, Othmar Förster and Winfried F. Pickl. Moreover, a short outlook describing major immunology research centers in the Vienna area in the 21st century will be provided. Networking Mixer Sunday, September 6 | 19:00 | Austria Center Vienna | Level 2 We are pleased to invite you to our Networking Mixer that will take place just after the opening ceremony, starting at 19:00. There you can catch up with “old” colleagues and friends and meet new ones. Having always been a melting pot for numerous cultures, Vienna has strongly been influenced among others, by Jewish, Balkan and Turkish traditions. That is why Klezmer, Kebab, and Coffee have grown to become almost as Viennese as Apfelstrudel and Johann Strauss. You will be able to get a taste of very diverse and wonderful Viennese traditions while being surrounded by an international atmosphere. We are looking very much forward to an interactive, delightful & multicultural evening! Buffet: traditional Viennese cuisine with a touch of international street food. One of our three music acts will be playing in each corner of the triangle-shaped location.
