The International Journal of Immunogenetics publishes original contributions on the genetic control of components of the immune system and their interactions in both humans and experimental animals. All papers are seen by at least two independent referees and only papers of the highest quality are accepted. The term “genetic” is taken in its broadest sense to include studies at the evolutionary, molecular, chromosomal, functional and population levels in both health and disease.
