This article presents abstracts of various articles and research papers presented at the XXIIIrd Meeting of the Scandinavian Society for Immunology and the Vlllth Summer School, held during May 26-31, 1992, in Oslo, Norway. Abstract of the article "Cloning and Characterization of the 5'-transcriptional Regulators Region of Human α-2'6' Sialyltransferase," summarizes a study of the expression of the individual glycosyltransferases. It describes that cellular interactions such as homing, are processes which involve cell to cell adhesion and recognition. Some of these interactions are mediated by oligosaccharide epitopes on cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids. Abstract of the paper, entitled "Production or Aleutian Disease Virus (ADV) Encoded Structural Proteins in a Baculovirus Expression System and Its Use in Vaccination Studies," presents results of various ongoing studies of recombinant baculovirus expression system and its uses in different vaccine trials. Abstract of another article, "Endotoxin and Staphylococcus aureus Enterotoxin A Induced Different Patterns of Cytokines," summarizes the study assessing effects of S. aureus enterotoxin A and lipopolysaccharide in cytokine production at the single cell level in cells obtained from healthy blood donors.
