Human Immunology

ISSN 01988859

Elsevier

Zeitschrift, Englisch

Erscheinungsweise: 6 Ausgaben pro Jahr

The journal's scope includes understanding the genetic and functional mechanisms that distinguish human individuals in their immune responses to allografts, pregnancy, infections or vaccines as well as the immune responses that lead to autoimmunity, allergy or drug hypersensitivity. It also includes examining the distribution of the genes controlling these responses in populations.

Research areas include:

- Studies of the genetics, genomics, polymorphism, evolution, and population distribution of immune-related genes

- Studies of the expression, structure and function of the products of immune-related genes

- Immunogenetics of susceptibility to infectious and autoimmune disease, and allergy

- The role of the immune-related genes in hematopoietic stem cell, solid organ, and vascularized composite allograft transplant

- Histocompatibility studies including alloantibodies, epitope definition, and T cell alloreactivity

- Studies of immunologic tolerance and pregnancy

- T cell, B cell, NK and regulatory cell functions, particularly related to subjects within the journal's scope

- Pharmacogenomics and vaccine development in the context of immune-related genes
