Abstract
The 15th annual meeting of the Alcohol and Immunology Research Interest Group was held on November 19, 2010, at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, IL. This year, the focus of the meeting was on alcohol’s effect on the immune system in both clinical and experimental systems. The event consisted of three sessions, which featured plenary talks from invited speakers along with oral presentations from selected abstracts, in addition to a poster session. Participants presented a variety of information on ethanol-induced effects on infection susceptibility and resolution, oxidative stress, and organ inflammation. Specifically, speakers presented new insights on the mechanism of alcohol-mediated deleterious effects in the lung, liver, skin, and neuroendocrine system, as well as on immune cells in both in vivo and in vitro systems. Additional oral presentations suggested possible mechanisms of how alcohol-induced reactive oxygen species promote immune dysregulation both locally and systemically.
