 AB    This symposium describes the advances in immunology that have occurred
       in the Commonwealth of Independent States. The worldwide difficulties of
       allergists and immunologists who face problems including increasing
       morbidity and mortality from HIV, immunoregulatory disorders, and asthma
       are also germane to our colleagues in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. The
       unique experiences of Dr. Petrov, who has investigated novel
       immunomodulators; Dr. Titov, who has studied synthetic immunogens; Dr.
       Babakhin, who has investigated the effects of modified allergens; and
       Dr. Sidorovitch, who has explored the pathogenesis and natural history
       of HIV infections occurring in Russia, offer interesting insights into
       the advances in immunology that have occurred in the Commonwealth of
       Independent States. Coping with the tragedies of radiation from
       Chernobyl and environmental pollution in Ukraine, Drs. Titov and Markov
       have investigated the effects of these unfortunate disruptions of the
       environment upon the occurrence of immunoregulatory disorders and
       asthma, respectively. Under the direction of Drs. Petrov and Khaitov,
       immunologist from the Commonwealth of Independent States, have conducted
       studies that are among the leading epidemiological immune investigations
       of our time to determine the effects of the Chernobyl radiation on the
       immune system.
