Welcome to Immunology & Cell Biology
Immunology & Cell Biology spans the breadth of immunology, with a particular emphasis on the cell biology of the immune system. Areas that are covered include, but are not limited to, cellular immunology, innate and adaptive immunity, immune responses to pathogens, tumour immunology, immunopathology, immunotherapy, immunogenetics and immunological studies in humans and model organisms (including mouse, rat, Drosophila etc).

Featured Outstanding Observations and Theoretical Articles
Spanning the breadth of immunology, Immunology & Cell Biology is proud to present Featured Outstanding Observations and Theoretical Articles - a collection of some of the top articles from recent years. Outstanding Observations describe striking, reproducible observations that have extremely important conceptual implications but do not necessarily include insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms. Theoretical Articles are intended to challenge and provoke discussion in the international scientific community.
NEW – Outstanding Observation: innovation accelerated - this content is FREE
Immunology & Cell Biology has introduced a new article type, "Outstanding Observation", to allow the rapid publication of influential discoveries about important immunological phenomena.
