Reports on recent developments in the understanding of immunity at the molecular and cellular levels that is applicable to the search for novel immunological adjuvants and the formulation of new-generation vaccines for experimental and clinical use. The adjuvants are necessary for the effectiveness

The 1992 session of the biennial workshop concerned with the immunology of breast cancer focused on the recent advances in understanding the molecular biology both of antigens associated with breast cancer and of their corresponding antibodies. Among the topics of the 19 papers are peptide epitopes

From the November 1992 International Neuropharmacology Symposium in Guangzhou, China, 23 papers explore the practical implications of the extensive research on neurological disorders. They focus on specific disorders suffered widely by the general population, integrating perspectives to try to narro

A number of basic molecular and subcellular interactions affect the activation and performance of the heart in ways of interest to cardiologists. The 32 papers from a December 1994 workshop in Haifa, Israel, make the link between basic science and clinical practice in the molecular mechanisms of sar

Documents the first conference on the topic, called in response to opportunities opened by the molecular characterization of the first mammalian mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase enzyme from rabbit skeletal muscles, and the subsequent realization that one had already been to hand in a well-studied surfac

Proceedings of the August 1995 meeting, presenting reports by physicists, chemists, clinicians, engineers, and biochemists on major developments in the delivery of oxygen to tissues. Papers are organized in sections on assessment of dysoxia, myocardial hypoxia-ischemia, tissue oxygen distribution, t
