The role of cytokines in tumor immunotherapy. Report on the 2nd Frankfurt International Cytokine Symposium 25-27 June 1992, Frankfurter Hof, Frankfurt, Germany.
The conference, organized by Profs. Mitrou, Bergmann (Frankfurt), Huber (Mainz) and Niederle (Leverkusen), concentrated almost exclusively on the role of cytokines in cancer. The majority of presentations concerned IFN-alpha, IL 2 or TNF-alpha, but G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL 4, IL 10 and TGF-beta were not neglected. Presentations achieved a laudable balance between basic science and clinically oriented studies. The present report emphasizes the clinical aspects; proceedings of the entire meeting will be published by S. Karger AG, Basel.
Section for Transplantation, Immunology and Immunohematology, Medizinische Universitätsklinik, Tübingen, Germany.
