Nature Reviews Immunology provides in-depth coverage of all areas of immunology, from fundamental mechanisms to applied aspects. Subjects Covered: -Allergy and asthma -Autoimmunity -Antigen processing and presentation -Apoptosis and cell death -Chemokines and chemokine receptors -Cytokines and cytokine receptors -Development and function of cells of the immune system -Haematopoiesis -Infection and immunity -Immunotherapy -Innate immunity -Mucosal immunology and the microbiota -Regulation of the immune response -Signalling in the immune system -Transplantation -Tumour immunology and immunotherapy -Vaccine development
