Abstract

In this short review, examples of unnecessary multiple names of cell membrane molecules, for example, immune checkpoints and cytokines, are presented. Moreover, ridiculous or inaccurate names, such as ‘Regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted’ and ‘tissue factor’, are discussed.

免疫学中的冗余和荒谬名称

在这篇简短的综述中，我们举例说明了细胞膜分子（如免疫检查点和细胞因子）不必要的多重名称。此外，还讨论了一些荒谬或不准确的名称，如 "活化调节、正常 T 细胞表达和分泌 "和 "组织因子"。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Immunogenetics (formerly European Journal of Immunogenetics) publishes original contributions on the genetic control of components of the immune system and their interactions in both humans and experimental animals. The term ''genetic'' is taken in its broadest sense to include studies at the evolutionary, molecular, chromosomal functional and population levels in both health and disease. Examples are: -studies of blood groups and other surface antigens- cell interactions and immune response- receptors, antibodies, complement components and cytokines- polymorphism- evolution of the organisation, control and function of immune system components- anthropology and disease associations- the genetics of immune-related disease: allergy, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency and other immune pathologies- All papers are seen by at least two independent referees and only papers of the highest quality are accepted.
