The Sixth International Workshop on Langerhans Cells will be the next in a series of biennial meetings in which researchers studying cutaneous antigen presenting cells and related dendritic antigen presenting cells meet to exchange information, present their latest findings and, most importantly, use this interchange to develop new strategies for studying questions regarding the molecular biology, cellular biology and the immunologic role of these cells in normal physiology and pathophysiology. The role of dendritic cells as therapeutic agents will also be a topic within the meeting. The meeting will take place October 8-10, 1999 in New York City. Meeting participants will include experts invited to present plenary lectures on the latest developments in the field and students, research fellows, clinical physicians and scientists from academia and industry who will learn from the plenary lectures, present their latest findings in workshops and poster sessions and take part in formal and informal discussions and interchange of information. Indeed, the goals of this meeting are to provide a setting in which researchers in the field present their latest and most exciting work in the most interactive manner possible. Topics to be covered are: 1. The development and functions of Langerhans cells and other dendritic antigen presenting cells. 2. The role of Langerhans cells and dendritic cells in host defenses against malignancies and their use in vaccine strategies. 3. The role of Langerhans cells and dendritic cells in allergy, autoimmunity and induction of immunologic tolerance. 4. The role of Langerhans and dendritic cells as therapeutic agents for the treatment of disease. 5. The use of Langerhans cells and dendritic cells for molecular approaches to understanding dendritic cell development and physiology.

第六届朗格汉斯细胞国际研讨会将是一系列两年一度的会议中的下一个，研究皮肤抗原呈递细胞和相关树突状抗原呈递细胞的研究人员将交流信息，展示他们的最新发现，最重要的是，利用这种交流来开发研究分子生物学问题的新策略，细胞生物学以及这些细胞在正常生理学和病理生理学中的免疫学作用。 树突状细胞作为治疗剂的作用也将是会议的主题。 会议将于1999年10月8日至10日在纽约市举行。 与会者将包括应邀在全体会议上就该领域的最新发展情况发表演讲的专家，以及来自学术界和工业界的学生、研究员、临床医生和科学家，他们将从全体会议上学习，在讲习班和海报展示会上介绍他们的最新研究结果，并参加正式和非正式讨论和信息交流。 事实上，本次会议的目标是提供一个环境，使该领域的研究人员以最互动的方式展示他们最新和最令人兴奋的工作。 将涵盖的主题是：1。朗格汉斯细胞和其他树突状抗原呈递细胞的发育和功能。 2.朗格汉斯细胞和树突状细胞在宿主防御恶性肿瘤中的作用及其在疫苗策略中的应用。 3.朗格汉斯细胞和树突状细胞在变态反应、自身免疫和免疫耐受诱导中的作用。 4.朗格汉斯细胞和树突状细胞作为治疗剂治疗疾病的作用。 5.使用朗格汉斯细胞和树突状细胞的分子方法来了解树突状细胞的发育和生理学。
