Human Immunology is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Elsevier. It contains original research articles, review articles, and brief communications on the subjects of immunogenetics, cellular immunology and immune regulation, and clinical immunology, and is the journal of the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI).
Human Immunology was established in 1980, and has published 12 issues per year since 1983.[1] The journal has had four editors-in-chief; Bernard Amos was editor from 1980 to 1996, Nicole Suciu-Foca was editor from 1997 to 2013, Steven Mack was editor from 2014 to 2016, Amy Hahn was editor from 2016 to 2022, and James Matthew has been editor since 2023.
Abstracting and indexing
The journal is abstracted/indexed in:
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 2.7.[2]

The American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) is the professional society that runs the journal.[3] Founded in 1972, the society has since gathered over 1,000 members from over 33 countries.[4]
ASHI is responsible for accrediting HLA typing laboratories internationally to maintain the quality standards for histocompatibility testing between donors and recipients, with UNOS and NMDP utilizing its service to inspect and determine whether laboratories complied to industrial practices.[5] They also published the first CWD (common and well documented) allele list, encouraging researchers to compare genetic differences between populations.[6]
ASHI also sponsors several awards in recognition of accomplishments and contributions to the field of histocompatibility and immunogenetics, including:[7]
- Rose Payne Award
- Bernard Amos Distinguished Scientist Award
- Paul I. Terasaki Clinical Science Award
- Distinguished Service Award
- Outstanding Technologist Award
- J Marilyn MacQueen Rising Star Award (formerly ASHI/SEOPF J. Marilyn MacQueen Award)
- Scholar Awards & International Scholar Award
- Travel Fund Award
- Young Investigator Awards
ASHI has also collaborated with the European Federation for Immunogenetics, Asia Pacific Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Associatio), and the Arabian Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics to organize an international summer school for professionals focusing on studying the theories and applications of histocompatibility and immunogenetics.[citation needed]
ASHI sponsors the American College of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, formerly the American College of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, and offers 5 levels of certification.[8]
Controversies
In 2001, Antonio Arnaiz-Villena co-authored a research paper in the journal on the genetic history of Jews, Palestinians and other Mediterranean populations, The Origin of Palestinians and their Genetic Relatedness with other Mediterranean Populations.[9] The research results, which concluded that there are strong genetic ties between Israeli Jews and Palestinians, were controversial because of their political implications, as well as what some readers perceived to be political undertones in the article.[10]
Following a large number of complaints, the article was withdrawn from the journal and deleted from the scientific archive.[11] Academics who had already received a copy of the journal were urged to "physically remove" the article pages in a move that had no precedent in research publishing. The comments about Arab-Israeli conflicts were described by the journal's editor as "extreme political writing"; a description that was challenged by Arnaiz-Villena. He was subsequently removed from the journal's editorial board.[10]
The journal's decision was met with opposition from several academics. Andrew Goffey, a senior lecturer at Middlesex University in England, observed that "it was conceded that the article had not been removed on the basis of its scientific evidence," failed to find anything offensive in the paper. Several scientists wrote to the publishers to support Arnaiz-Villena and to protest their heavy-handedness. One of them said: "If Arnaiz-Villena had found evidence that Jewish people were genetically very special, instead of ordinary, you can be sure no one would have objected to the phrases he used in his article. This is a very sad business."[10]
