The aim of the Journal of Reproductive Immunology is to provide the critical forum for the dissemination of results from high quality research in all aspects of experimental, animal and clinical reproductive immunology. The international character of the journal is reflected in the breadth of its Editorial Board and commitment to publish new and outstanding studies in different aspects of reproductive immunobiology from all five continents. Within the Journal, the Editors wish to bridge the gap between basic and clinical studies in all subareas of research relevant to reproductive immunobiology. This encompasses normal and pathological processes of reproductive tracts, gametes, fertilisation, implantation, gestation, parturition and lactation, including host defence to infectious disease, mucosal immunology, immunoendocrinology, reproductive immunotherapies, immunogenetics, developmental immunology and immunology of reproductive neoplasms, as well as application of immunological techniques in elucidation of reproductive processes or dysfunction. International Conference on Reproductive Immunobiology: Call for Papers The Second International Conference on Experimental and Clinical Reproductive Immunobiology will take place 15-18 November 2000 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Papers are invited for selected oral and poster presentation on the themes of the conference which includes: Infection and Host Defence; Paracrine and Cellular Events; Autoimmunity and Tolerance; MHC and Reproduction and Immune Infertility. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 1 August 2000. For full details see http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/jri2000.

生殖免疫學雜志的目的是為在實驗、動物和臨床生殖免疫學的各個方面傳播高質量研究結果提供關鍵的論壇。該雜志的國際性特點體現在其編委會的廣度上，并承諾在五大洲生殖免疫生物學的不同方面發表新的和杰出的研究成果。在該雜志中，編輯們希望彌合生殖免疫生物學相關研究的所有子領域的基礎研究和臨床研究之間的差距。這包括生殖道、配子、受精、著床、妊娠、分娩和哺乳的正常和病理過程，包括宿主對傳染病的防御、粘膜免疫學、免疫內分泌學、生殖免疫療法、免疫遺傳學、發育免疫學和生殖腫瘤的免疫學以及免疫學技術在闡明生殖過程或功能障礙方面的應用。生殖免疫生物學國際會議：呼吁發表論文第二屆實驗和臨床生殖免疫生物學國際會議將于2000年11月15日至18日在荷蘭阿姆斯特丹舉行。會議主題包括：感染和宿主防御；旁分泌和細胞事件；自身免疫性和耐受性；MHC和生殖和免疫不育。提交摘要的截止日期為2000年8月1日。有關詳細信息，請參閱http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/jri2000。
