The Society for Leukocyte Biology (SLB) annual meeting from September 21-24, 2005 will be devoted to phagocytes and innate immunity. Leukocytes acting as professional phagocytic cells are the central cellular elements of innate immune defense in mammals. In the last several years a variety of new tools have become available that make it possible to dissect the molecular components of phagocytosis and in identifying and understanding the proteins that attract the cells, modulate their activity, and promote interactions with foreign invaders. SLB is made up primarily of cell biologists who focus on antigen presenting cells and the effector cells of innate immunity. In this meeting, we aim to provide the latest information from some of the leading investigators in the field; plenary sessions and symposia speakers will cover a broad range of pertinent topics. Keynote addresses will be given by Ralph Steinman, who produced the hallmark studies on dendritic cells that defined the roles of these cells in the innate immune response and Jules Hoffmann, who first identified toll-like receptors; these specialized receptors are now appreciated to mediate the intracellular signaling that leads to inflammatory gene expression in response to foreign antigens. There will be 35 invited speakers (all have been confirmed) and additional speakers will be selected, by a committee, from the abstracts that are submitted. Ten of the invited speakers are women, all leading investigators in the field. The topics to be covered include models of innate immunity, cellular mechanisms of phagocytosis and host-pathogen interactions. We expect 300-400 registrants, mostly active researchers from academics and industry. The venue is a newly constructed, state-of-the-art facility at the University of Oxford that is wheel-chair accessible. We encourage students and other trainees to submit abstracts; the SLB gives awards for the best abstracts submitted by students. One of the main purposes of the meeting is to encourage young scientists.

2005年9月21日至24日，白细胞生物学学会（SLB）年会将致力于吞噬和先天免疫。用作专业吞噬细胞的白细胞是哺乳动物先天免疫防御的中心细胞元素。在过去的几年中，已经有了各种新工具，可以剖析吞噬作用的分子成分，并在识别和理解吸引细胞，调节其活性并促进与外国入侵者相互作用的蛋白质方面识别和理解蛋白质。 SLB主要由细胞生物学家组成，他们专注于抗原呈递细胞和先天免疫的效应细胞。在这次会议上，我们旨在提供该领域一些主要调查员的最新信息；全体会议和座谈会演讲者将涵盖广泛的相关主题。主题演讲将由拉尔夫·斯坦曼（Ralph Steinman）提供 对树突状细胞的标志性研究定义了这些细胞在先天免疫反应中的作用，而朱尔斯·霍夫曼（Jules Hoffmann）首先鉴定出类似收费的受体。现在，人们对这些专门的受体表示赞赏，可以介导细胞内信号传导，从而导致响应外国抗原的炎症基因表达。将有35名受邀演讲者（所有人都已确认），委员会将从提交的摘要中选出其他发言人。有十个受邀演讲者是妇女，都是该领域的主要调查员。要涵盖的主题包括先天免疫模型，吞噬作用的细胞机制和宿主 - 病原体相互作用。我们预计300-400名注册人，主要是来自学者和行业的活跃研究人员。该场地是一个新建造的，最先进的设施 牛津大学，可以访问轮椅。我们鼓励学生和其他学员提交摘要； SLB为学生提交的最佳摘要颁发了奖项。会议的主要目的之一是鼓励年轻科学家。
