Abstract

ISSN 0905-6517 In This Issue In the first Issue of 1998, the front page illustration (prepared by Dr. Cathy Jones, Child Health, Southampton) showed a stunning microscope section through a chorionic villus of the placenta.

In the second Issue, we show a confocal microscrope picture of neutrophils with phagocytosed fluorescent Staphylococcus aureus (prepared by Ann Mander, Child Health, Southampton). This emphasises that we are also interested in the immunology of infection.
