European Journal of Immunology

Aims & Scope

EJI is an immunology research journal, focusing on various aspects of immunology including, but not limited to: Basic: Adaptive immunity, Innate immunity, Leukocyte and lymphoid organ ontogeny, Molecular immunology and signaling, New technology, Tissue immunology and leukocyte trafficking Basic/Clinical studies*: Allergy and inflammation, Immunity to infection, Immunodeficiencies and autoimmunity, Transplantation and tolerance, Immunomodulation and Immune Therapies, Tumor immunology *Clinical studies EJI's editorial team understands the experimental restrictions of clinical/human studies.

EJI considers descriptive clinical papers without a mechanism, provided that the studies are hypothesis-driven with a clear rationale and informative results that forward our understanding of immunological processes and disease.
