Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the 13th Keele Meeting on Aluminium (Keele13; see https://www.keele.ac.uk/aluminium/ ), 23–27 March 2019, there will be a special scientific session on “Aluminium Adjuvants, Vaccines and Adverse Events”. This session will bring together a wide range of individuals who will make presentations on the most recent science and opinion in this topical and burgeoning field. We are improving our understanding of how aluminium adjuvants work in potentiating the immune response (https://aacijournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13223-018-0305-2) and concomitantly we are beginning to appreciate their roles in adverse events following vaccination. The successes of aluminium adjuvants in vaccination and allergy immunotherapy need to be balanced against their known toxicity at injections sites and their putative toxicity elsewhere in the body. In this Special Issue we are inviting contributions including primary science, reviews and opinions on all aspects of the use of aluminium adjuvants in vaccination and allergy therapies. The idea is to bring together the disparate areas of this fascinating and important subject in a Special Issue that in the future can act as an important single source of authoritative information on this topical and often controversial subject.
