The proceedings of the fourth Canadian conference on research in the rheumatic diseases held in Toronto in October 1970, this volume includes some 50 papers based on recent research carried out in Canada, the US, and abroad. The papers centre on two main themes: immunological aspects of the rheumatic diseases, and animal and experimental model diseases which have certain features in common with human rheumatic disorders.
