The immunogenetics of histocompatibility antigens in humans and experimental animals and their tissue distribution, regulation and expression in normal and malignant cells and antigens as markers for disease are of major interest. Manuscripts that report new, unique genes, allelic variants, polymorphic allelic sequences as well as monoclonal antibodies detecting their gene products are welcomed as original articles. The main criteria for acceptance are the originality and quality of the investigations reported. Review articles, Commentaries, Brief communications and People in immunogenetics. Suggestions are welcomed in the form of a one-page synopsis to the Editor.
Commentaries briefly explore important current topics.
Brief communications are encouraged for reporting gene sequences, MHC peptide motifs and studies of monoclonal antibodies and disease susceptibility. Reports of meeting or workshops. Contact the Editor before the meeting to determine acceptability. Submission of sequence data to GenBank. Original nucleotide or amino acid sequence data described in manuscripts must also be submitted to GenBank before submission.
