MANUSCRIPTS DECORATION

1. All manuscripts should be double spaced throughout (including figure legends and references) and with 2.5 cm margins.

2. Pages should be numbered sequentially at the bottom right corner, including all typed material in the numbering. One set of publication quality figures and two copies of the figures should be sent. If the figures are photographs, all three sets should be of publication quality. Manuscripts that do not conform to these specifications may not be accepted, at the Editor's discretion.

3. The title page must include the following: title, full first name and surname of each contributor followed by name, full postal address, e-mail address and mobile /telephone numbers of the contributor who will deal with correspondence including proofs; and a running title not in excess of 50 characters. The total number of pages and figures being submitted should also be indicated on this page.

4. A minimum of three keywords not appearing in the title should be provided for use by indexing services.

5. Research papers should start with an ABSTRACT which will appear before the main body of the text. It should be written in complete sentences and should summarize the materials, methods, results, and major conclusions in 250 words or less in a form comprehensible to any specialist and suitable for abstracting services.

6. If references are used in an abstract, they must include the author(s), journal title, volume number, starting page, and year. Avoid abbreviations in abstracts as far as possible.

7. The main part of a research paper should start with a brief INTRODUCTION, which outlines the historical or logical origins of the study without repeating the abstract or summarizing the results, a section on METHODS, and one on RESULTS in which the observations are presented with minimal reference to earlier literature or to possible interpretations. The final DISCUSSION may usefully start with a brief summary of the major findings, but repetition of parts of the results section should be avoided.

8. An alphabetized list of Abbreviations used in the text must be provided on a separate page.

9. Acknowledgements should follow the main text.

10. Tables should be numbered in the order that they appear in the text. Footnotes to tables should be included with the table. There should be an indication in the main text of the most appropriate placement of each table and illustration.

11. References used in the text should be arranged alphabetically at the end of the articles under heading References. An example is: 'McMichael and Gotch have reported . . .'. Where there are more than two authors, the citation in the text should use the formulation 'et al.'. An example is: 'This observation has been reported by Shackelford et al. '. In the list of references papers from journals should be listed thus:

Shackelford, D. A., Smith, A. V., and Trowbridge, I. S. 1987. Changes in gene expression induced by a phorbol diester: expression of IL2 receptor, T3, and T cell antigen receptor. J. Immunol. 138:613.

Books should be listed in one of the following styles:

Bowry, T. R. 1984. Immunology Simplified, 2nd edn. J.Health ,GWF, Bangladesh.

McMichael, A. J. and Gotch, F. 1987. T-cell antigens: new and previously defined clusters. In McMichael, A. J., ed., Leukocyte Typing III, p. 31. GWF Pablication Centre , Canada.

12.  The titles of journals should be abbreviated in accordance with the World List of Scientific Periodicals, 4th edn.

ILLUSTRATIONS

Each figure should be relevant to the text and figures should be presented in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. Figures and photographs should be numbered as a single series and should contain the manuscript number and figure number.

Electronic files of figures accepted for publication must be saved with the extension *.tif or *.jpg at a resolution of at least 300 d.p.i. at the final printed size (86 mm wingle and 178 mm double column width) for color and half-tone figures and 1200 d.p.i. for black and white line drawings. Color figures must be supplied in CMYK format rather than RGB. Hard copy figures should be supplied larger than the final size on the printed page; lettering should be in proportion, ideally providing characters 2 mm high on the printed page. Figure parts should be labeled upper case A, B, etc., in the top left hand corner.

Figure legends should explain each figure as fully as possible, referring the reader to the text only on rare occasions in order to avoid repeating in the legends material that must be included in the text. All abbreviations used in the figures should be explained in each legend where possible. When large numbers of abbreviations are necessary in the figures, the authors should include these in a separate list of abbreviations.

FACS data. Clearly identify the parameter for each axis, e.g. forward scatter, CD4, propidium iodide. Draw appropriate gates on the figures when pertinent.

SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Supporting material that is not essential for inclusion in the full text of the manuscript, but would nevertheless benefit the reader, can be made available by the publisher as online-only content, linked to the online manuscript. The material should not be essential to understanding the conclusions of the paper, but should contain data that is additional or complementary and directly relevant to the article content. Such information might include more detailed methods, extended data sets/data analysis, or additional figures (including color). All text and figures must be provided in suitable electronic formats (instructions for the preparation of Supplementary Data can be viewed here). All material to be considered as Supplementary Data must be submitted at the same time as the main manuscript for peer review. It cannot be altered or replaced after the paper has been accepted for publication. Please indicate clearly the material intended as Supplementary.
