Abstract The Kitasato Symposium 2009 New Prospects for Cytokine Inhibition was held in Berlin Germany from 7 to 9 May 2009. The key aims of this meeting were to bring together a group of front-line researchers and rheumatologists to evaluate the use of cytokine blockade and to examine the role of certain cytokines in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. A keynote lecture delivered by Professor Jean-Michel Dayer provided an up-to-date overview of the interactions occurring between the immune system and acute phase proteins. Other speakers discussed the role of cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis including their role in joint destruction as well as their regulatory role upon T cells and B cells. The involvement of cytokines in other autoimmune diseases was also addressed. Introduction During May 2009 the first Kitasato meeting was held at the Palais am Festungsgraben Berlin in memory of Professor Shibasaburo Kitasato 1853-1931 who worked in Berlin between 1885 and 1892 .
