Research on the fish immunology has been scanty; this programme focuses mainly on the application immunotechnology to marine fishes. These methodologies will empower the scientific community to develop lab scale product into aquaculture industrially applicable product (antigen and antibody). Recently, a lymphatic system similar to that described in mammals was described in one species of teleost fish, the zebrafish. Although not confirmed as yet, this system presumably will be where naive (unstimulated) T cells will accumulate while waiting to encounter an antigen. Immunology is undergoing rapid development. This workshop will provide international researchers, clinicians, and public specialists with an up-to-date view on the rapidly expanding knowledge of the immune system and its close relationship to the clinical disease occurrence, development, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, and the development and industrialization of biological technology. We believe this workshop will be an event that promotes international academic exchanges and cooperation in the field of Immunology.
