More about the book

The book explores the evolution of immunology, beginning with Jenner's vaccination work in the 1700s and progressing through key developments by Koch and Pasteur in the 1880s. It highlights the Clonal Selection Theory from the 1950s, which remains central to understanding immune responses. The author presents a framework to analyze various immunological concepts and proposes strategies for addressing medical conditions such as infectious diseases, cancer, and autoimmunity. Written in an accessible style, it invites discussion on contemporary immunological issues for both specialists and non-specialists.
