Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergies and other immunity disorders are a current and deepening problem of the modern world, closely related to the progress of civilization. Although many mechanisms mediating allergic reactions have already been clearly explained, there are still many unclear mechanisms of these reactions. Also, the relationship between allergens from different sources often remains a surprising mystery. Immunodeficiency and immune disorders are also a serious health problem in the modern world. The coexistence of various disorders of the immune system (such as allergies and immunodeficiencies) often entails diagnostic difficulties. Many times we face the problem that our diagnostic tools are insufficient. This entails the construction of new experimental laboratory methods to study the relationship between different allergens and the mechanisms of allergies and other immunologically mediated diseases. In this special issue, we want to focus on the mechanisms of allergic reactions, especially those atypical and accompanying immune disorders. We will try to present significant problems and difficulties related to the diagnosis of allergies, especially in unusual cases. We also want to present the possibilities of using experimental methods and laboratory protocols to study the mechanisms of allergy and cross-reactivity.
Potential topics will include:
- Mechanisms of allergic reactions
- Co-factors of allergic reactions
- Unusual allergic reactions
- Allergies in immunodeficiency
- Cross-reactive allergens
- Experimental laboratory methods in allergology
- in vitro allergy diagnosis
- Biochemical properties of allergens
- New potential allergens

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
