Aims & Scope

Innate Immunity is a highly ranked, peer-reviewed scholarly journal and is the official journal of the International Endotoxin & Innate Immunity Society (IEIIS). The journal welcomes manuscripts from researchers actively working on all aspects of innate immunity including biologically active bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and plant components, as well as relevant cells, their receptors, signaling pathways, and induced mediators. The aim of the Journal is to provide a single, interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of new information on innate immunity in humans, animals, and plants to researchers. The Journal creates a vehicle for the publication of articles encompassing all areas of research, basic, applied, and clinical. The subject areas of interest include, but are not limited to, research in biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, chemistry, clinical medicine, immunology, infectious disease, microbiology, molecular biology, and pharmacology.
