Comparative Immunology Reports

Comparative Immunology Reports is a new, online only, open access journal and a companion title to the highly-regarded journals Fish & Shellfish Immunology and Developmental & Comparative Immunology.

Comparative Immunology Reports publishes high-quality, peer-refereed contributions in all areas of immunology, including comparative aspects of immunity and the evolution of the immune system of vertebrates and invertebrates in a rapid open-access format. It accepts studies on the basic mechanisms of both the specific and non-specific defense systems, including cells, tissues, proteins and genes. Reports on the influence of environmental and intrinsic factors, response to pathogens and the mechanistic and functional aspects of immunity are welcomed.
