Scope: The Journal of Clinical Immunology accepts manuscripts in the areas of human basic and clinical immunology and molecular biology. The area of basic immunology includes (but is not limited to) studies of lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, complement components, immunoglobulins, antibodies, cytokines and their receptors, immunoregulation, signal transduction, T-cell receptors, and immunoglobulin genes. The area of clinical immunology includes (but is not limited to) primary immunodeficiency disorders, secondary immunodeficiency diseases including AIDS, autoimmune disorders, immediate hypersensitivity disorders, hepatobiliary immunology, gastrointestinal immunology, renal immunology, tumor immunology, transplantation immunology, neuroimmunology, and aging. Papers on animal models of human diseases are welcome. Articles dealing with molecular biology related to human diseases are accepted. Special Articles are by invitation only.
- Manuscripts (and books for review) should be sent to:

- Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Plenum Publishing Corporation will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
- Type double-spaced, and submit the original and two copies (including illustrations and tables). Type on one side only of 8 ??11 inch paper, with 1 ?inch margins all around.
- In addition to hard-copy printouts, please submit the manuscript, figures, and tables in electronic form on CD-Rom, PC-formatted Zip, or 3.5" diskette. All manuscripts must be submitted in either Microsoft Word format (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). This applies to articles submitted using both Windows and Machintosh/Mac-OS. Tables and figures should be formatted as .DOC, .TIFF, .PPT, .JPG, or .GIF.
- Order the elements comprising the manuscript as follows: title page, abstract, key words, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, appendix, acknowledgments, references, tables, and figure-caption list.
- The title page should include the title of the article, author(s)' name(s) and affiliation(s) (the department and institution from which the work originated), complete mailing address of the one author who will review the proofs, and suggested running head (not to exceed 40 characters, including spaces). Note that the affiliation should be a footnote to the author's name.
- An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 150 words. Do not use abbreviations, footnotes, or references in the abstract.
- A list of 4? key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes.
- All acknowledgments (including those for grant and financial support) should be typed in one separate paragraph that directly precedes the references section.
- References should be typed double-spaced in a separate section at the end of the paper and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are cited in the text. Cite in the text by the appropriate Arabic numeral enclosed in parentheses. Include the last names and initials of all authors, title of article, name of publication, volume, inclusive pages, and year published. Abbreviations should conform to those in Index Medicus. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to the following examples:

- Tables should be numbered (with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. Center the title above the table, and type explanatory notes below the table.
