Autoimmunity

Aims & Scope

Autoimmunity is an international, peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on cell and molecular immunology, immunogenetics, molecular biology and autoimmunity.

Current understanding of immunity and autoimmunity is being furthered by the progress in new molecular sciences that has recently been little short of spectacular.

In addition to the basic elements and mechanisms of the immune system, Autoimmunity is interested in the cellular and molecular processes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other systemic and organ-specific autoimmune disorders.

The journal reflects the immunology areas where scientific progress is most rapid.

It is a valuable tool to basic and translational researchers in cell biology, genetics and molecular biology of immunity and autoimmunity.
