Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of human immunology, including genetic variability in immune responses to diseases like COVID-19 and its impact on clinical outcomes. It also covers immunologic compatibility assessments for organ transplantation, such as Virtual Crossmatch analysis and the role of non-HLA antibodies. Furthermore, the journal explores the potential of immune-based therapeutic strategies, including CAR-NK cells for cancer immunotherapy and the prognostic significance of biomarkers like PD-1 expression. Research also investigates the role of specific molecules like HLA-G in hematologic disorders and erythropoiesis.
