Bi-Annual Meeting of the IUIS Expert Committee on Primary Immunodeficiency

原发性免疫缺陷病（PID）为了解免疫系统的功能提供了一个很好的窗口。在过去的15年中，已经阐明了100多种PID的分子基础。国际免疫学会联合会（IUIS）PID专家委员会每两年举行一次的会议的目的是向从事PID工作的科学家和医生社区通报基础和临床科学领域的最新进展，这些进展对研究产生影响。、诊断和PID患者的护理。该会议还有助于促进PID领域的临床试验，包括开发新的治疗策略。 会议安排在3天内举行。前2.5天包括大约5个科学会议，其中免疫学前沿研究的基础科学介绍随后是描述新的基因缺陷或对PID患者先前描述的基因缺陷或PID新疗法的结构和功能的新理解的介绍。通常有30位左右的发言者。该学院包括杰出的科学家，他们对分子生物学的进步做出了重大贡献。 和细胞免疫学，生物化学，细胞信号和翻译研究人员谁取得了进展，在病理生理学诊断和治疗PID在过去两年。大约100-120名受邀医生和科学家参加了会议，他们在世界各地积极从事PID研究和患者护理。科学会议之后是为期半天的PID专家委员会会议，以更新PID的分类。在这次会议期间，更新了上次会议的PID分类表，并发表在一本高影响力的免疫学杂志上。我们正在寻求对将于2005年、2007年和2009年举行的三次会议的支持。2005年会议将于6月17日至19日在匈牙利的布达佩斯举行。

Primary immune deficiency diseases (PID) provide an excellent window into the functioning of the immune system. During the past 15 years the molecular basis of more than 100 PID has been elucidated. The purpose of the bi-annual meeting of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) Expert Committee on PID is to update the community of scientists and physicians who work in PID to advances in the field of basic and clinical science that have impact on the investigation, diagnosis and care of patients with PID. The meeting also serves to stimulate clinical trials in the field of PIDs, including the development of novel therapeutic strategies. The meeting is structured over 3 days. The first 2.5 days consist of approximately 5 scientific sessions, in which basic science presentations of cutting edge research in immunology are followed by presentations describing novel gene defects or new understandings of the structure and function of previously described genes deficient in patients with PID or new therapies for PID. There are normally a total of about 30 speakers. The Faculty includes distinguished scientists who have significantly contributed to advances in molecular and cellular immunology, biochemistry, and cell signaling and of translational researchers who have made advances in the pathophysiology diagnosis and treatment of PID during the past two years. The meeting is attended by approximately 100-120 invited physicians and scientists who are actively engaged in PID research and patient care all over the world.The scientific sessions are followed by a half day meeting of the Committee of Experts on PID to update the classification of PID. During this meeting the classification tables of PID from the previous meeting are updated the published in ahigh impact immunology journal. We are seeking support for three meetings to be held in 2005, 2007 and 2009. The 2005 meeting will be held June 17-19 in Budapest, Hungary.
