Scand J Immunol. 2009 Aug;70(2):163-71. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-3083.2009.02284.x.

Abstract

In recent years, investigations in immunology have led to progress in clinical medicine, including understanding transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies, inflammation, transplantation, cancer and the development of new vaccines. At a meeting recently held on the Mediterranean shore, advances in several facets of clinical immunology were the focus of discussion. Here, we highlight some of the debates that reflected advances in a variety of human immune disorders.
