An Official journal of the International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS)

Cytokine will publish studies that report on the molecular biology, signal transduction, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, genome-wide association, pathobiology, diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic applications of all known and emerging cytokines, cytotoxins, interferons, chemokines, adipokines, matrikines, hematopoietic factors, and growth factors. Studies reporting all signaling molecules from the pathogens and host-endogenous sources, metabolic products/adducts that mediate inflammation and immunity, either influence and/or operate under this broad class of "biological response modifiers" as they relate to host defenses and immune responses will be considered for publication.
