About the journal
The great advances in immunology in recent years make this field one of the most rapidly growing in biological sciences. This remarkable growth is stimulated by the influx of investigators from other disciplines such as biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and by an increased number of investigators who came to immunology through the more traditional routes of microbiology and various medical disciplines. As a consequence, immunology has become a vast and rich field encompassing outlooks that range from the highly clinical to the highly molecular. Although such perspectives may appear diverse, they are, in fact, highly interdependent. Critical ReviewsTM in Immunology presents a balanced overview of contemporary immunology and melds together molecular immunology and immunobiology.

Instructions to Authors
Aims & Scope. Critical Reviews™ in Immunology seeks to present a balanced
overview of contemporary immunology and meld together molecular immunology
and immunobiology. The journal is published bimonthly and has one volume per
year. The topics and their authors are proposed by members of an editorial board of
distinguished and active immunologists.
The great advances in immunology in recent years have made this field one of
the most rapidly growing in the biological sciences. This remarkable growth has been
stimulated by the influx of investigators from other disciplines, such as biochemistry,
genetics, and molecular biology, and by an increased number of investigators who came
to immunology through the more traditional routes of microbiology and various
medical disciplines. As a consequence, immunology has become a vast and rich field
encompassing outlooks that range from the highly clinical to the highly molecular.
Although such perspectives appear to be too diverse, they are, in fact, highly
interdependent. The understanding in molecular terms of the cellular events of the
immune response will be critical for the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of
immunological disorders.
Preparation of Manuscripts. Authors should write in clear, concise English. The
responsibility for all aspects of manuscript preparation rests with the authors.
Extensive changes for rewriting of the manuscript will not be undertaken by the
Editor. Manuscripts must be typewritten or printed double-spaced on one side only
of 8-1/2 ¡Á 11 or A4 white opaque paper, with 1" margins. Times Roman is the
preferred typeface for printouts of manuscripts. All pages should be numbered
consecutively, starting with the title page and including pages containing tables and
figure legends. References, tables, figure legends, and furnished art should be
grouped together at the end of the manuscript to facilitate processing.
Submission of Manuscripts. Manuscripts are submitted only by invitation of the
Editors and are subject to anonymous peer review. The Editors choose the referee(s)
and make the final decision to accept or reject the manuscripts. Most manuscripts
are returned to the authors for revisions suggested by the Editors and referee(s). A
signed Copyright Release form and permission letters are required for the
publication of the critical review. Please send 2 copies of the complete manuscript to:
Dr. M. Zouhair Atassi, Department of Biochemistry, Baylor College of Medicine,
One Baylor Place, Houston, TX 77030 (tel.: 713-798-6050, fax: 713-798-6437).
Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published
elsewhere and that it has not been simultaneously submitted for publication
elsewhere. The original drawings and photos should be retained by the author until
the conclusion of the review process. The original typed manuscript also should be
retained by the author.
Title, authors, affiliations, corresponding author, and referee. The first page
of the article should contain a brief, clear and descriptive title. The names and
institutional affiliations of all authors should be given along with the mailing address
of the corresponding author, including fax and telephone numbers.
Abstract. All manuscripts should have an Abstract not to exceed 200 words.
Key Words. All manuscripts should have a list of Key (indexing) terms.
Three to six key words or terms not in the title will assist indexers in cross-indexing
your article.
Introduction. The first part of the article (INTRODUCTION) should explain
the purpose of the review, cite relevant work, and describe objectives.
Body. The body of the article presents details of the review. It should be
divided into several sections identified by headings and subheadings according to the
following scheme:
I. PRINCIPAL HEADING
A. First Subheading
1. Second Subheading
a. Third Subheading
Conclusions. This section should discuss the significance of the work, its
limitations and advantages, applications of the results, and further work that should
be done.
Acknowledgments. This section should cite individuals, institutions, grants,
etc., that have helped and/or contributed to the study or review.
References. Literature references follow the Vancouver Style, available in all
commonly used reference management programs and style manuals. List names of all
authors; "et al." is not allowed.
References to the literature and all notes regardless of their nature should be
numbered consecutively, avoiding repetition by using the number that corresponds
to the original reference. Reference numbers should be typed as unparenthesized
superscripts following the author name(s) where appropriate, or the sentence or
clause containing the referenced material. Place numbers after punctuation, with no
space between. Bibliographic references to classified documents and reports or to
unpublished material not generally available to the scientific public should not be used.

Figures. All figures (line drawings, graphs, and photographs) should be submitted
one per page, separately from the text. Keep in mind that labeling must be
legible after reduction (standard reduction is about 40% of the original). A list of
figure legends, typed double-spaced, should be included on a separate page. For
figure legends, the word FIGURE should be caps followed by the appropriate
number and a period. The author should number figures consecutively in order of
appearance in the text, making sure that every figure is cited in the text using
Figure 1, Figure 2,etc. The word Figure(s) is always written out initial cap/lower
case in the text (Fig. or Figs. within parentheses).
All figures should be numbered and identified on the back in felt tip pen only.
All illustrative material should be mailed flat and protected by heavy cardboard.
Keep illustrations free of clips and staples. Originals are preferred, if possible.
• Line drawings and graphs. Original line drawings and graphs should be submitted
in black ink on separate sheets of white opaque paper, although black and white
glossy photographic prints are preferred. Photocopies are unacceptable substitutes
for original figures. Computer generated line drawings or graphs are acceptable if
printed on a laser printer.
• Photographs. The number of photographs should be kept to a minimum and only
black and white glossy prints should be submitted. If cropping is necessary, please
indicate on a separate photocopy of the print so as not to damage the original.
• Four-color illustrations will be considered for publication; however, the author
will be required to bear the full cost involved in their printing and publication. A
letter acknowledging the willingness to pay for color prints should be sent to the
editor along with the prints. Begell House, Inc. will then send an invoice to the
author upon publication of the prints.
Tables. Tables should also be numbered in sequence in the order in which
they appear, and all should be referred to in the text. Explanatory material
essential to the understanding of the table should be written as footnotes keyed
with superscript letters. Keep in mind that a typeset table width must fit within
a printed space of 6-5/16" (upright) or 9" landscaped (turned sideways) still
allowing space between table columns.
Equations. Displayed equations should be incorporated in the text and should
be numbered using Arabic numerals (in parentheses) in sequence. In the text, they
should be referred to as, e.g., Eq. (12). At the beginning of a sentence, the word
Equation(s) should be written out. Equations may be handwritten, provided that
every character can be easily identified. The first time a Greek letter appears, it
should be identified in the margin. All symbols should be identified in the text.
Symbols that denote mathematical variables or physical quantities that should be
printed in italic type should be in italics or underlined. A clear distinction should
be made between the letters),For numerical values of measurable
quantities, show no more digits than are significant. The use of powers of ten is
recommended, e.g., 1.23 ¡Á 105 instead of 123,000. (Use decimal points, not commas.)
Units and Quantities. Units should be in accordance with the Systeme Internationale
Unites (SI). Symbols for physical quantities should be those recommended by
IUPAC, IUPAP, or ASTM.
Copyrighted Material. Authors who want to make use of artwork already published
are required by copyright law to ask the owner of the copyright (usually the
publisher) for permission to do so. Please be careful to assign proper credit, for
example, in the legend of a figure . . . from (reference); reproduced by permission
of . . .If any verbatim quotation of text is more than a few words, the same
procedure should be followed. If authors use material from their own published
work, permission must be obtained from the publisher. Additional information and
permission forms are attached.
Diskettes. A diskette containing the text file must accompany final (accepted and
reviewed) manuscripts, along with the revised and final hard copy. Acceptable
