Immunology is a diverse and growing discipline that can be defined as the
study of the tissues, cells and molecules involved in host defence
mechanisms. Immunologists attempt to understand how the immune system
develops, how the body defends itself against disease, and what happens when
it all goes wrong. 

Nature Reviews Immunology will provide in-depth coverage of immunology, from
fundamental mechanisms to applied aspects. In addition to review articles,
it will highlight recent developments and exciting new primary papers, as
well as reflecting on the people, papers and events that have influenced the
development of immunology.

Topics covered will include:
    * Allergy and asthma
    * Autoimmunity
    * Antigen processing and presentation
    * Apoptosis in the immune system
    * Chemokines and chemokine receptors
    * Cytokines and cytokine receptors
    * Development and function of cells of the immune system
    * Haematopoiesis
    * Infection and immunity
    * Immunotherapy
    * Innate immunity
    * Mucosal immunology
    * Regulation of the immune response
    * Signalling in the immune system
    * Transplantation
