In celebration of the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS) Virtual Annual Meeting, the BSI’s official journal Clinical & Experimental Immunology is pleased to provide free access to a selection of primary research and review articles that complement the scientific programme of FOCIS 2021. These papers represent recent advances in fields as diverse as tumour immunology, COVID-19 pathophysiology and vaccines, cell therapy, immune genetics and immunoageing.
Clinical & Experimental Immunology seeks to publish the best translational and clinical immunology studies; those which have the potential to transform our understanding of the immunopathology of human disease or change clinical practice. Our articles cover basic and clinical investigations regarding the immunological basis of a wide range of human pathologies, including autoimmunity, inflammatory diseases, primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, complement disorders, allergies, infectious diseases, cancer and transplantation rejection, and we favour studies underpinned by strong mechanistic insight.
We hope you enjoy this collection of articles, and we encourage you to share this with colleagues online using the FOCIS 2021 hashtag #FOCIS2021 and looping in @CEIjournal and @FOCISimmunology.
