Innate Immunity

Aims & Scope

Innate Immunity is a highly ranked, peer-reviewed open access journal and is the official journal of the International Endotoxin & Innate Immunity Society (IEIIS).

The journal welcomes manuscripts from researchers actively working on all aspects of innate immunity including biologically active bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and plant components, as well as relevant cells, their receptors, signaling pathways, and induced mediators.

The aim of the journal is to provide a single, interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of new information on innate immunity in humans, animals, and plants to researchers.

The journal creates a vehicle for the publication of articles encompassing all areas of research: basic, applied, and clinical.

The subject areas of interest include, but are not limited to: research in biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, chemistry, clinical medicine, immunology, infectious diseases, microbiology, molecular biology, and pharmacology.

The journal includes original research articles, notes, and (mini) reviews.

In addition, manuscripts are welcome that describe novel methods or techniques, or significant improvements to established protocols.

It is the intention that each issue of the journal also will contain an invited review of a scientific topic of current interest.
