Abstract: Papers reported at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory meeting Vaccines 86: New Approaches to Immunization: Developing Vaccines Against Parasitic, Bacterial, and Viral Diseases, are presented. Viruses, pathogenic bacteria, and parasites that cause important diseases are discussed. The volume is divided into the following sections: structural and chemical aspects of antigen-antibody union, antigen presentation and processing, malaria, bacterial vaccines, pathogenesis of viral disease, bacterial and yeast plasmid vectors--viral vectors, AIDS retroviruses, and human and hepadnaviruses--flaviviruses. The prospects for a vaccine against AIDS are discussed. In the section on AIDS retroviruses, the following papers are presented: prospects for development of a vaccine against human T-lymphotropic virus type III disease; immunopathogenesis of the AIDS, human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III/LAV)--approaches to the development of a vaccine for a human retrovirus; envelope glycoprotein of the AIDS virus LAV--structural and immunological properties; a comparative analysis of the visna and AIDS lentiviruses; nature and significance of sequence variation among independent AIDS retrovirus isolates; and genomic variability of the AIDS retrovirus.
