Abstract: Annual meetings on Modern Approaches to Vaccines have been held at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory since 1983. In 1986, it was decided that the meeting should be extended by one day so that a full discussion of all aspects of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) could be included. The shadow of AIDS continues to spread over many parts of the world and its prevention presents a challenge not only to governments and their agencies, but also to researchers who believe that modern approaches to vaccination can offer some answers. This conference on modern approaches to vaccines was held in five sections: immunology (antigens, antibodies, and immunopotentiation; parasites), AIDS (molecular biology, immunology and pathogenesis, epidemiology and animal models, vaccines or therapy for AIDS and other retrovirus diseases), pathogenic bacteria and viral glycoproteins, pathogenesis and attenuation, and recombinant vectors and parvoviruses.
