detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating
antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) ... click here for full Aims & Scope
The
Journal of Immunological Methods
is devoted to covering techniques for: (1) Quantitating and
detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating
antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or
antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting
cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related
to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their
receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
In addition the journal will publish articles on novel methods for analysing the organization, structure and expression of genes
for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition,
processing and presentation. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not
simply the application of an established method to a particular substance - although papers describing such applications may be considered
for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the
Journal of Immunological Methods.
In general these manuscripts are by solicitation however anyone interested in submitting a review can contact the Reviews Editor and
provide an outline of the proposed review.
A Computational Methods Section reflects the increasingly central role of
sophisticated statistical and mathematical methods and computational models in the analysis, visualization, interpretation of the results
of techniques and investigations within the general scope of the Journal.
These methods can generally be divided into data-driven
Immunomics methods involving high throughput assays or model-driven methods that provide a framework for data analysis, visualization,
and interpretation. Descriptions of high-quality immunological databases are also of interest.
This Section will publish papers that
present important advances to current practice or new "gold standards" for mathematical and computational methods and analyses
in the field of immunology. Areas of interest reflect the general areas of interest of the Journal, particularly novel methods for analyzing
the organization, structure and expression of genes and proteins of immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell
receptors, and various accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing, and presentation, and inflammation.
