The goal of the meeting is to bring together researchers interested in various aspects of cell death, inflammation and immunity in animals and plants, with a particular focus on the mechanisms that link cell death with the immune response. The meeting is organized in the context of the Collaborative Research Center 670 (CRC670) “Cell-autonomous Immunity” (speaker: Martin Krönke). CRC670 is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is strongly supported by a community of immunologists in Cologne and Bonn aiming at understanding cell-autonomous immune response in plant and animal. ...

On behalf of the board of the German Society for Immunology (DGfI), we are delighted to invite you to participate in our 47th Annual Meeting to be held in Erlangen from 12-15 September 2017. The Huguenot town of Erlangen, a modern baroque city, where ancient charm meets innovative ideas, is in the heart of the Nürnberg Metropolitan Region. Erlangen hosts one of the oldest and most charming outdoor beer festivals and is home to the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and high-tech ventures such as Siemens Healthineers, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (known for its invention of the MP3), and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. Erlangen with a long tradition in basic and clinical immunology has developed under former DGfI presidents, Joachim Kalden and Martin Röllinghoff, into an internationally recognized research center. More than 50 groups in 13 independent clinics and departments at the University Hospital Erlangen and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg are part of the interdisciplinary research center „Medical Immunology Campus Erlangen “(MICE). The extramural funding from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) ranks number 2 in Germany and includes 5 collaborative research groups focusing on B Cells (TRR 130), resolution of inflammation” (SFB 1181), microbial effectors (SFB 796), inflammatory bowel diseases (KFO 257), and osteoimmunology (SPP 1468). Additionally, there are 3 doctoral training groups with research topics in adaptive immune responses (GRK1660), B cells (GRK-TRR130), and inflammation (GRK-SFB 1181). The 47th Annual Meeting will take place at the Heinrich-Lades-Halle located in the center of Erlangen just a few minutes from the main railway station, hotels, and restaurants. The highlight of the 2017 meeting will be the celebration of the 50th birthday of the DGfI. To salute this special occasion, the organizing committee will compile an exciting scientific program highlighting current research topics in basic and translational immunology in plenary sessions, main symposia, and workshops. A poster exhibition “50 years DGfI-50 discoveries” and a Festschrift will commemorate the history of our society and the highlights of Immunology in Germany. We will finish with an unforgettable birthday party on the last evening of the congress. We cordially invite everyone to submit abstracts in the spring of 2017 and to join us in Erlangen for this exciting event. All Erlanger immunologists are looking forward to welcoming you to our city with the charm of a small baroque town. We hope to make this special meeting a memorable event! ...

On behalf of the German Society of Immunology (DGfI) and the Austrian Society for Allergology & Immunology (ÖGAI), we are pleased to invite you to our joint annual meeting in Hannover, from September 7th to 10th 2022 at Hannover Medical School. With this upcoming joint meeting, we would like to continue the series of joint meetings in 1995 and 2008 Vienna. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory is a non-profit organisation and a basic research institute funded by public research monies from 18 member states. Research at EMBL is conducted by approximately 80 independent groups covering the spectrum of molecular biology. The cornerstones of EMBL's mission are: to perform basic research in molecular biology, to train scientists, students and visitors at all levels, to offer vital services to scientists in the member states, and to develop new instruments and methods in the life sciences, and technology transfer. ...

CELLS alive! represents 30 years of capturing film and computer-enhanced images of living cells and organisms for education and medical research. The site has been available continuously and updated annually since May of 1994 and now hosts over 4 million visitors a year. All text, images, and layout are provided by me, Jim Sullivan. The majority of the site is free of cost and registration for anyone with internet access. With up to 25,000 visitors a day during the school year, hosting costs are an issue. Students and teachers who purchase CDROMs and downloads for classroom use make this possible. A stock video library is also available, providing producers with a range of subjects, including both live recording and computer animation. Immune cells, bacteria, parasites, and aquatic organisms are available for licensing for educational, broadcast, and commercial use. ... [Information of the supplier]
We present a neural network based method (ChloroP) for identifying chloroplast transit peptides and their cleavage sites. Using cross-validation, 88% of the sequences in our homology reduced training set were correctly classified as transit peptides or nontransit peptides. This performance level is well above that of the so far only publicly available chloroplast localization predictor PSORT. Cleavage sites are predicted using a scoring matrix derived by an automatic motif-finding algorithm. Approximately 60% of the known cleavage sites in our sequence collection were predicted to within +- 2 residues from the cleavage sites given in SWISS-PROT. An analysis of 715 A. thaliana sequences from SWISS-PROT suggests that the ChloroP method should be useful for the identification of putative transit peptides in genome-wide sequence data. ...
