title: New concepts in immunodeficiency diseases.
abstract: The study of primary immunodeficiencies has, in the past, contributed greatly to knowledge of the intact immune system. More recently this process has been reversed, resulting in an explosion of new information on the nature of primary immune defects. In this summary of the Jeffrey Modell Symposium, Sudhir Gupta gives a syndrome-by-syndrome account of the latest developments.
