Journal of Immunological Methods

期刊简介：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.

【译文】《免疫学方法杂志》致力于涵盖以下技术：（1）定量和检测抗体和/或抗原。（2）纯化免疫球蛋白、淋巴因子和免疫系统中的其他分子。（3）分离抗原和其他在免疫过程中重要的物质。（4）标记抗原和抗体。（5）在组织和细胞中定位抗原和/或抗体。（6）检测和分离免疫活性细胞。（7）检测细胞免疫。（8）记录细胞间相互作用。（9）启动免疫和无反应性。（10）移植组织。（11）研究与免疫密切相关的事项，如补体、网状内皮系统等。（12）研究免疫细胞及其受体的分子技术。（13）免疫系统的成像。（14）在真核和原核细胞中生产或其片段的方法。（此外，该杂志还将发表关于分析免疫球蛋白、T细胞受体和参与抗原识别、处理和呈递的辅助分子等免疫相关分子基因的组织、结构和表达的新方法的文章。提交的完整论文应描述对免疫学具有广泛适用性的新方法，而不仅仅是将一种已建立的方法应用于特定物质——尽管描述此类应用的论文也可能作为简短的技术笔记考虑发表。免疫学方法杂志还将发表综述文章。一般来说，这些论文是通过邀请提交的，但任何有兴趣提交综述的人都可以联系综述编辑并提供拟议综述的概述。
