JOURNAL OF REPRODUCTIVE IMMUNOLOGY

The aim of the Journal of Reproductive Immunology is to provide the critical forum for the dissemination of results from high quality research in all aspects of experimental, animal and clinical reproductive immunology. The international character of the journal is reflected in the breadth of its Editorial Board and commitment to publish new and outstanding studies in different aspects of reproductive immunobiology from all five continents. Within the Journal, the Editors wish to bridge the gap between basic and clinical studies in all subareas of research relevant to reproductive immunobiology. This encompasses normal and pathological processes of reproductive tracts, gametes, fertilisation, implantation, gestation, parturition and lactation, including host defence to infectious disease, mucosal immunology, immunoendocrinology, reproductive immunotherapies, immunogenetics, developmental immunology and immunology of reproductive neoplasms, as well as application of immunological techniques in elucidation of reproductive processes or dysfunction. International Conference on Reproductive Immunobiology: Call for Papers The Second International Conference on Experimental and Clinical Reproductive Immunobiology will take place 15-18 November 2000 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Papers are invited for selected oral and poster presentation on the themes of the conference which includes: Infection and Host Defence; Paracrine and Cellular Events; Autoimmunity and Tolerance; MHC and Reproduction and Immune Infertility. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 1 August 2000. For full details see http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/jri2000.

生殖免疫学杂志的目的是为在实验、动物和临床生殖免疫学的各个方面传播高质量研究结果提供关键的论坛。该杂志的国际性特点体现在其编委会的广度上，并承诺在五大洲生殖免疫生物学的不同方面发表新的和杰出的研究成果。在该杂志中，编辑们希望弥合生殖免疫生物学相关研究的所有子领域的基础研究和临床研究之间的差距。这包括生殖道、配子、受精、着床、妊娠、分娩和哺乳的正常和病理过程，包括宿主对传染病的防御、粘膜免疫学、免疫内分泌学、生殖免疫疗法、免疫遗传学、发育免疫学和生殖肿瘤的免疫学以及免疫学技术在阐明生殖过程或功能障碍方面的应用。生殖免疫生物学国际会议：呼吁发表论文第二届实验和临床生殖免疫生物学国际会议将于2000年11月15日至18日在荷兰阿姆斯特丹举行。会议主题包括：感染和宿主防御；旁分泌和细胞事件；自身免疫性和耐受性；MHC和生殖和免疫不育。提交摘要的截止日期为2000年8月1日。有关详细信息，请参阅http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/jri2000。
