Oxford Open Immunology

Aims & Scope

Oxford Open Immunology publishes high-interest research and reviews across all aspects of the immune system in health and disease.

Taking a bench to bedside approach, the journal brings together the mechanistic, basic research on the biology and workings of the immune system alongside clinical perspectives and applications of cutting edge immunology-based research for diagnosis and treatment of clinical disease.

Disease relevance can include autoimmunity, cancer, infectious diseases, immunodeficiencies, metabolic disease and transplantation.

Oxford Open Immunology particularly encourages submissions in emerging disciplines, including immune-informatics and systems immunology, microbiota research, single-cell and NGS approaches, mass cytometry and imaging.

Areas of research considered in the journal include, but are not limited to: -Accessory molecules- Adjuvants- Allergy- Animal models- Antibodies/BCR- Antigen processing- Autoimmunity- Bacterial immunology- B cell biology- Cancer- Chemokines- Cytokines- Cytotoxicity- DAMPS- Developmental immunology- Fungal immunity- HLA- Immune imaging- Immune checkpoint inhibitors- Immunodeficiency- Immunogenetics- Inflammation- Innate populations- Lymphoid architecture- MHC- Microbiota- NK cells- PAMPS- Regulatory cells- Structural immunology- T cells- Therapeutic mAbs- Tissue resident populations- Tolerance- Trafficking- Transplantation- Vaccines- Viral immunology
