Additional Symposia sponsored by IUB in 1980 and 1981. Symposia # 99 a~nd # 100. #
99 : Biochemical and immunological approach to disease and reproductio,n.
# 1 0 0 : Photosynthesis a,nd plant prod'uctivity.
These symposia are to be held on the occasion of the second FAOB Congress in Bangalore, India, from December 14 to 18, 1980. The first symposium will have sessions on Leprosy, Parasitic Diseases, Cancer and Reproduction. The second symposium includes the Genetics of Photosynthesis, Chloroplast Structure and Function, Carbondioxide Assimilation in C-3 and C-4 Plants, Photosynthesis in the Regulation of Nitrate and Sulphate Assimilation, Photosynthetic Limits and The Influence of Environment on Plant Productivity. All those interested in attending should write to : Dr. S. Krishna Murthy, Department of Biochemistry, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012, India. Symposium # 101. Membra,n,e Regulation and Cell Function - - will be held in Mendoza, Argentina, from October 18 to 20, 1980.
This meeting is a satellite to the 16th Annual Meeting of the Argentinian Biochemical Society and to the 4th An-
XI
nual Meeting of the Chilean Biochemical Society. The program includes Ion Transport, Hormones and Membrane Phenomena and Membrane-bound Oxido-Reduction Enzymes. A II those interested in attending should write to : Dr. Alberto Boveris, Instituto de Quimica Biologica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Paraguay 2155 m 1121 Buenos A ires, Argentina. Symposium # 102. Fourth Symposium on Intracellular Pro~ein Catabollism m will be held at Reinhardsbrunn Castle, Friedrichroda, GDR, from May 24 to 27, 1981. This meeting will include lectures covering intracellular Proteinases, lnhibitors of Intracellular Protein Catabolism, Primary Steps and the Molecular Basis of Selectivity of lntracellular Proteolysis, Mechanisms of Autophagy, together with Posters on any aspect on Intracellular Protein Catabolism.
All those interested in attending should write to : Professor Dr. H. A urich, Physiologisches-Chemisches Institut, Martin-Luther Universitat, PO Box 184, 402 Halle, German Democratic Republic.
ICRO International cell research organisation Organisation internationale de recherche sur la cellule (( Advanced techniques in immunolog~ical and biochemioal approaches to hemopa.rasi,~e research )) to be held at ILRAD, NAIROBI, KENYA, September 14-28, 1980.
The research training course will provide a very intensive laboratory and lecture program on modern parasitological, immunological, and biochemical tech19,80, 62, n ° 7.

The laboratory work (approximately 8 to 10 hours) Will consist of techniques for growth, isolation and manipulation of Trypanosomes Leishmania and Malaria parasites. New methods for cryopreservation of laboratory and field isolates of parasites. Cell cloning procedures. Techniques for tissue culturing of malaria, leishmania, and trypanosomes. Parasite cell fractionation and isolation and characterization of cellular sub-fractions. Introduction to assessment and quantitation o f immunosuppression in parasitized hosts. Introduction to methods for preparation and quantitation of antisera including immunofluorescent antibody techniques, radioimmunoassay, immunodiffusion, complement fixation measurement. Techniques for assessing cell mediated immunity. Daily lectures will cover the theoretical background to the techniques and laboratory work. The last day of the course will be devoted to discussions on the implementation of modern immunological and biochemical techniques under conditions where equipment and ressources are limited. Students.
The course is offered to 18 young investigators such as recently appointed university lecturers, post-doctoral students or advanced graduates students who are starting an academic career. The students will be drawn entirely from Africa with as broad an international representation as possible. No more than 7 will be from Kenya. Travel and fi~,ing
