title: Interferons and cytokines on a grand scale.
abstract: The first joint meeting of the International Cytokine Society and the International Society for Interferon and Cytokine Research was held in Geneva on 6-10 October 1996. In this report, Fran Balkwill and Paula Pitha relate how signal transduction, molecular genetics and structural biology have helped to provide a unifying focus to presentations dealing with 100+ cytokines and an even larger assortment of receptors and associated signal transducers.
