Biologicals

Official Journal of the International Alliance for Biological Standardization

Biologicals provides a modern and multidisciplinary international forum for the publication of research that advances the development, manufacturing, quality control, standardization, safety, efficacy, and regulatory aspects of human and veterinary biological products derived from both novel and established biotechnologies. Special issues are produced to reflect topics of particular international interest and concern. Three types of papers are welcome: original research reports, short papers, and review articles. The journal will also publish comments and letters to the editor, book reviews, meeting reports and information on regulatory issues.
