Critical Reviews in Immunology

Aims & Scope

Immunology covers a broad spectrum of investigations at the genes, molecular, cellular, organ and system levels to reveal defense mechanisms against pathogens as well as protection against tumors and autoimmune diseases.

The great advances in immunology in recent years make this field one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing in medical sciences.

Critical ReviewsTM in Immunology (CRI) seeks to present a balanced overview of contemporary adaptive and innate immune responses related to autoimmunity, tumor, microbe, transplantation, neuroimmunology, immune regulation and immunotherapy from basic to translational aspects in health and disease.

The articles that appear in CRI are mostly obtained by invitations to active investigators.

But the journal will also consider proposals from the scientific community.

Interested investigators should send their inquiries to the editor before submitting a manuscript.
