title: Immunobiology of normal and diabetic pregnancy.
abstract: The International Congress of Immunobiology of Normal and Diabetic Pregnancy brought together a heterogeneous group of workers to consider one of the most fascinating areas of immunology. The meeting, which proved to be a thinkshop as much as a workshop, developed along two major lines: (1) an examination of new data in normal pregnancy immunology, from both the research and clinical points of view and (2) analysis of the suspected problems of diabetic pregnancy. 'Suspected' because pregnancy-related problems in diabetic women are not due solely to metabolic disturbances, but also involve immunological aspects of diabetes, particularly where type I diabetes is concerned.
