Journal of Autoimmunity

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Autoimmunity is a parent journal of the Journal of Translational Autoimmunity.

The Journal of Autoimmunity publishes papers related to the diverse aspects of autoimmunity: the mechanism of self-recognition, regulation of autoimmune responses, experimental autoimmune diseases, diagnostic autoantibody tests, and the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Special, but not exclusive, attention will be given to papers dealing with genetic, molecular biology, and cellular aspects of the discipline.

Research Areas Include: • Underlying mechanisms of autoimmunity • Immunologic • Molecular • Cellular • Genetic • Virologic Areas of Clinical Interest: • Rheumatology • Dermatology • Endocrinology • Nephrology • Haematology • Immunopharmacology
