摘要
The 11th annual meeting of the Alcohol and Immunology Research Interest Group was held at Loyola University Medical Center, May-wood, Illinois on November 17, 2006. The Alcohol and Immunology Research Interest Group meeting is held annually to exchange new findings and ideas that arise from ongoing research examining the effects of alcohol intake on the immune system. The event consisted of five sessions, two of which featured plenary talks from invited speakers, two with oral presentations from selected abstracts, and a final poster session. Participants presented new data on a variety of topics including the effects of ethanol on key cells of the immune system (neutrophils, dendritic cells, NK cells), B cell responses, the capacity to clear infectious agents, and the barrier functions of skin, lung, and intestine.
