The International Immunoglobulin Symposium
in Interlaken
For almost three decades, CSL Behring has sponsored a high-level scientific symposium
in Interlaken, Switzerland. First held in 1981, the International Immunoglobulin
Symposium focuses exclusively on scientific and clinical research in the field of
polyvalent immunoglobulins.
Research presented at the Interlaken symposium is consistently at the forefront
of immunoglobulin research. Since its inception, the International Immunoglobulin
Symposium has won the respect and support of top international scientists and clinicians
from many different fields of research.

Nearly 300 scientists and clinicians attended the 6th International Immunoglobulin
Symposium, which was held in Interlaken on March 26–28, 2009. Attendees discussed
findings from a broad range of immunoglobulin research, which included investigations
into potential new indications for clinical immunoglobulin therapies, such as Guillain–Barré
syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, Alzheimer’s disease
and multiple sclerosis.
