Aspects to be covered will span basic methodology issues, applications, population genetics, bio-informatics, and ethical dimensions. Reports of last years meeting can be found in Science (1998, 281:1787-9), Nature Genetics (1998, 20:217-8), and European Journal Human Genetics (1999, 7:98-101; 2000, 8:154-156). Organizers: Anthony Brookes, Pui-Yan Kwok, Ulf Landegren, Peter Oefner, Scott White. Venue: Sagebrush Inn, Taos, New Mexico. A venue with Southwestern charm, located 1.5 hours north of Santa Fe. Outdoor pool and two hot tubs, a public tavern on site, facilities for tennis, golf, fishing, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding and river rafting nearby. Meeting format: All sessions will be in plenum with 20-25 min presentations by invited speakers and others selected from abstracts, with ample time for discussions. All applicants must submit an abstract. Delegates not giving an oral presentation are required to present a poster. The meeting will be limited to 120 participants selected competitively on the basis of submitted abstracts. Application procedure: Application + abstract deadline is 15th July, 2000. Application for attendance must be supported by an abstract of no more than 300 words. Participant selection will be competitive on the basis of abstract content. All applicants will be notified after abstract assessment is completed (by 1st August), and payment will be requested from selected participants to finalize the registration procedure. Registration + accommodation (3 night); USD 870. Registration only; USD 600. See the Web pages at http://snp2000.cgr.ki.se/ for further information and application forms.

CR1 has extrinsic activity , i.e., it inactivates convertases assembled on external membranes, and it also exhibits intrinsic activity ,i.e., it inactivates convertases formed on the same membrane on which it is expressed. Among the members of the RCA family , CR1 is the only one that possesses dcay-accelerating activity for both C3 and C5 convertases in both the classical and alternative pathways,as well as factor I cofactor activity for the degradation of both C3b and C4b . Would you please send me the plasmid containing the sequence for CR1 ?
