FASEB Conference: Biology of Immunoreceptors, June 26-July 1, 1999 to be held in Saxton's River, VT

这是由美国实验生物学学会联合会主办的夏季研究会议，将于1999年6月26日至7月1日在佛蒙特州的萨克斯顿河举行。会议将集中讨论在调节免疫反应中发挥关键作用的膜受体的结构和功能。这些受体包括T、B淋巴细胞抗原受体和细胞因子受体等重要成员。将特别强调负信号通路中涉及的抑制受体的快速移动的领域。将由免疫受体结构生物学的领军人物唐·威利博士和细胞因子生物学的领军人物威廉·保罗博士进行两场主旨演讲。此外，还将举行八次关于特定主题的科学会议，邀请发言者发言，并举行一次会议，专门讨论向大会提交的选定海报。科学会议的主题是(1)T细胞受体，(2)B细胞受体，(3)Fc受体，(4)抑制受体，(5)辅助和接头分子，(6和7)激动酶、磷酸酶和其他信号元件，以及(8)细胞因子及其受体。

This is a summer research conference to be held June 26 through July 1, 1999 in Saxtons River, Vermont under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. The conference will focus on the structure and function of membrane receptors that play critical roles in the modulation of immune responses. These receptors include such important members as the antigen receptors of T and B lymphocytes and cytokine receptors. A special emphasis will be given to the rapidly moving field of inhibitory receptors involved in negative signaling pathways. There will be two keynote lectures to be given by Dr. Don Wiley, a leader in the structural biology of immunoreceptors, and Dr. William Paul, a leader in cytokine biology. In addition there will be eight scientific sessions on specific topics with invited speakers, and one session devoted to the discussion of selected posters submitted to the conference. The themes of the scientific sessions are (1) the T cell receptor, (2) the B cell receptor, (3) Fc receptors, (4) inhibitory receptors, (5) accessory and adapter molecules, (6 & 7) kinases, phosphatases and other signaling elements, and (8) cytokines and their receptors.
