Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

HLA publishes original articles, brief communications, commentaries, and reviews covering all aspects of immunogenetics and the genetic control of immunity. The scope includes functional, biochemical, and genetic studies on molecules of the immune system, such as cell surface receptors, cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, antigen receptors, and genes and products of the major histocompatibility complex. It emphasizes research in areas like transplantation, autoimmunity, infectious immunity, allergy, tumor immunity, vaccine science, pregnancy, and disease susceptibility.
