The aim of the Journal of Reproductive Immunology is to provide the critical forum for the dissemination of results from high quality research in all aspects of experimental, animal and clinical reproductive immunology. The international character of the journal is reflected in the breadth of its Editorial Board and commitment to publish new and outstanding studies in different aspects of reproductive immunobiology from all five continents. Within the Journal, the Editors wish to bridge the gap between basic and clinical studies in all subareas of research relevant to reproductive immunobiology. This encompasses normal and pathological processes of reproductive tracts, gametes, fertilisation, implantation, gestation, parturition and lactation, including host defence to infectious disease, mucosal immunology, immunoendocrinology, reproductive immunotherapies, immunogenetics, developmental immunology and immunology of reproductive neoplasms, as well as application of immunological techniques in elucidation of reproductive processes or dysfunction.
