This review journal provides the most current information on research in immunology. The published reviews are written by invited authors who are leaders in their various fields and emphasis is given to subjects which have immediate relevance to medicine. Each issue of International Reviews of Immunology contains 4-6 solicited articles, is devoted to a single topic, and is edited by a guest editor. This review series is relevant to all immunologists, molecular biologists, microbiologists and physicians who are involved with autoimmune diseases. The editors' intent is that this journal provide the most recent information, filling the lag which presently exists between annual reviews and the original research articles. The turnaround time is short, in order to insure that the reviews contain the latest data. An international board of editors makes sure that the material presented is as broad as possible, both in terms of the geographic distribution of contributors and the range of interests represented.
