Abstract
The Second Meeting of the British Society for Immunology Tumour Immunology Affinity Group (TIAG) took place at King's College (London, UK) on 17-18 Ju ne 1997 and brought together over 100 tumour immunologists from the UK and abroad. In contrast to previous meetings the focus of the meeting was on th e role of adhesion in immunosurveillance and tumour dissemination, In addit ion, recent achievements in the areas of chemokines, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells, co-stimulation, gene and adoptive imm unotherapy were also addressed. The purpose of this report is to outline cu rrent trends in tumour immunology.
