STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that the Journal of Immunological Methods has become the official journal of the Association of Medical Laboratory Immunologists (AMLI). All the members of the Association will have full text online access to the journal including its 38-year archive.
Launched in 1971, the Journal of Immunological Methods is projected as a substantial and respected forum in the field of immunology, receiving over 10.000 citations in 2007. It publishes articles on novel methods for analysing the organisation, structure and expression of genes for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing and presentation.
This year also marks a change in the editorial structure of the journal where, after 24 years, co-editor-in-chief Mac Turner has retired. Maurice O'Gorman, Professor of Pediatrics and Pathology, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, has been appointed as Reviews and Special Issues Editor.
AMLI seeks to improve the practice of clinical immunology laboratory testing by encouraging education and training of all individuals in the organisation, maximising the quality of test procedures, promoting the exchange of information, supporting clinical research efforts, and improving patient care.
