Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology; May 31 - June 7, 1989; Cold Spring Harbor, NY

冷泉港专题讨论会每年举行一次。他们汇集了来自世界各地的大约300-400名科学家，展示和评估快速发展的生物研究领域的新数据和想法。1989年研讨会的主题是免疫学识别。会议将集中讨论以下议题：抗体结构和表位识别、抗原摄取、加工和递呈、自身耐受的诱导和破坏、淋巴细胞活化中的跨膜信号、MHC分子的结构、MHC分子的肽结合、T淋巴细胞的表位识别、T细胞和B细胞的产生、T淋巴细胞上的抗原受体和辅助分子。研讨会一直寻求从国外和美国引进研究工作者，以确保项目的广泛性和深度，并利用他们的具体贡献。他们还寻求为优秀的年轻科学家，包括研究生和博士后提供参与和与更资深科学家交流的机会。研讨会还汇集了使用各种方法的科学家，例如遗传学，生物化学，分子生物学，细胞生物学和结构研究。专题讨论会的会议记录由实验室出版，因此可以提供给比参加会议的科学家更广泛的受众。本次研讨会有望进一步推动免疫生物学基础研究的进展。

The Cold Spring Harbor Symposia are held yearly . They bring together approximately 300-400 scientists from all over the world to present and evaluate new data and ideas in rapidly moving areas of biological research. The topic for the 1989 Symposium is Immunological Recognition. It will focus on the following topics: Antibody structure and epitope recognition, antigen uptake, processing and presentation, the induction and breakdown of self-tolerance, transmembrane signalling in lymphocyte activation, the structure of MHC molecules, peptide binding by MHC molecules, epitope recognition by T lymphocytes, the generation of T cell and B cell repertoires, and antigen receptors and ancillary molecules on T lymphocytes. The Symposia always seek to bring research workers from abroad, as well as the U.S., so as to ensure the wide scope and depth of the program and to take advantage of their specific contributions. They also seek to provide outstanding younger scientists, both graduate students and post-doctoral fellows with an opportunity to participate and communicate with more senior scientists. The Symposia also bring together scientists who use a variety of approaches, e.g. genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and structural studies. The proceedings of the Symposia are published by the Laboratory and thus made available to a wider audience than the scientists who attend the meeting. This Symposium promises to further the progress of basic research in immunobiology.
