A symposium entitled Alterations in Cytokine Receptors by Xenobiotics was
held at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicology (SOT) in
Seattle, Washington. The symposium was sponsored by the Immunotoxicology
Specialty Section of SOT and was designed to present information on the
effect of several different classes of xenobiotics on various aspects of
receptor function (i.e., post-receptor signal transduction of receptor
expression), or the involvement of cytokine receptors in the action of the
toxicant under consideration. This symposium brought together scientists in
the area of receptor immunobiology whose expertise in receptor modulation
encompassed those major signaling agents involved in the normal immune
response, i.e., proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, interleukins, and
interferons. The following is a summary of each of the individual
presentations.
