Abstract
The incidence of immune-mediated diseases is increasing worldwide. Reliable immune markers for monitoring disease progression and also the effect of t herapeutic interventions are urgently needed in order to investigate preven tive or therapeutic measures effectively. At a recent workshop held on 5 De cember 1998 in Copenhagen, the state of research on surrogate markers in Ty pe 1 diabetes was discussed and compared with the experience in multiple sc lerosis, inflammatory bowel disease and transplantation.
