Immunology--tenth international congress. 1-6 November 1998, New Delhi, India.
This report provides selective coverage of this meeting. Over 2000 participants (including some Nobel laureates) from 67 countries attended. Among these was a significant number from Eastern European countries. This report focuses primarily on DNA vaccines and conventional vaccine development, as well as drug development. It also covers some of the plenary lectures that were delivered by immunology luminaries. The overall focus of the meeting centered on developments in the areas of vaccines, HIV and immune mechanisms. A significant number of presentations concentrated on tumor immunology and immunotherapy. Immunomodulation was another area of major discussion. With such a large, well-attended meeting, it is difficult to provide coverage for each of the speakers in a particular section, and the omissions are unintentional.
