Abstract: Abstracts of papers concerned with approaches to prevention and therapy of diseases involving human retroviruses, of cancer, and of AIDS, presented in nine plenary and three poster sessions at a UCLA Symposium, held on April 1-6, 1987, in Keystone, CO, are published in this journal. Headings for the plenary sessions and numbers of abstracts published for each session were as follows: keynote address (1); new retroviruses in man and sub-human primates (2); the HTLV genomes and their products (4); mechanism of virus pathogenesis (2); expression of viral genes in bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells (3); progress in development of antiviral vaccines (3); workshop on HIV virus, its receptor and target cells (2); progress in design of antiviral agents (4); and clinical trials (1). Headings for the poster sessions and numbers of abstracts published for each session were as follows: new retroviruses--HTLV genomes (25), pathogenesis--viral gene expression in exogenous cells (43), and antiviral strategies and clinical trials (27). Late additions consisted of eight abstracts.
