The purpose of THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER FACTOR SOCIETY (ITFS) is to promote, stimulate and coordinate the exchange of ideas related to studies of Transfer Factor and other immunoregulators present in human or animal leukocyte dialysates. The Society will conduct scientific conferences in this important area of immunological research and will help to coordinate future research and collaborative activities pertaining to the immunological functions of leukocyte dialysates.The XI International Congress on Transfer Factor and other immunologic properties of leukocyte dialysates was held on March 1-4, 1999 at the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon in Monterey, Mexico. The abstracts from that meeting as well as the Society's Xth International Symposium are available at the links below.The International Transfer Factor Society is a scholarly organization committed to the world-wide exchange of information pertaining to the immunologic properties of leukocyte dialysates.
