Molecular Immunology
A section of International Journal of Molecular Sciences (ISSN 1422-0067).
Section Information
The Molecular Immunology section of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) aims to rapidly publish original contributions addressing questions of importance in immunology and related fields. We welcome manuscripts conveying novel experimental findings that would advance understanding of molecular mechanisms of immunity, immunogenetics and/or immunopathogenesis. Manuscripts reporting development or testing of novel therapeutics that target molecular mechanisms are likewise sought. Manuscripts reviewing topics pertinent to the scope of the Molecular Immunology Section will be considered if the manuscripts offer analysis of existing knowledge and/or a perspective that is not otherwise available.
