Great to catch a hockey game in Vancouver before Hyon-Xhi and Jennifer Juno head to the Keystone T cell/B cell germinal centre meeting!

VVL rep, Jennifer Juno, schooling the Whistler nerds on Tfh cells. TLDR: our class II tetramers brings all the boys to the yards. Damn right it’s better than yours. #KSBTcells24
