Autoimmunity

Autoimmunity is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing research on cell and molecular immunology, immunogenetics, and molecular biology relevant to immunity and autoimmunity. Its scope includes innate lymphoid cells, T cells, B cells, molecular mediators of the immune system, regulatory mechanisms of T-cell and antibody responses, and epigenetic and metabolic processes, as well as systemic and organ-specific autoimmune responses and immune disorders. The journal converted to a full Open Access journal from Volume 56 (2023), while previous volumes remain available through a Pay to Read model.
