該雜志發表關于細胞和分子免疫學的最高標準的工作結果的論文。它的權威反映在近年來訂閱和捐款的迅速增長。綽號“斯堪的納維亞”并不意味著一本僅限于斯堪的納維亞研究的期刊;它是一份國際免疫學雜志，并接受出版材料，為了解世界各地的研究人員的免疫反應作出了重大貢獻。除了標準長度的研究論文，該雜志還回顧了調查技術的最新發展;較大程度的則作為補充出版。

This journal publishes papers on the results of work of the highest standard on cellular and molecular immunology. Its authority is reflected in the rapid growth of both subscriptions and contributions in recent years. The epithet"Scandinavian" does not imply a journal restricted to Scandinavian research; it is an international journal of immunology and it accepts for publication material which makes a significant contribution to the understanding of immune reactions from investigators all over the world. In addition to research papers of standard length, the Journal also reviews the latest developments in investigative techniques; those of greater extent are published as supplements.
