| Description: | Immunology as a science probably began with the observations by Metchnikoff in 1882 that starfish when pierced by a foreign object (a rose thorn) responded by coating it with cells (later identified as phagocytes). Immunology – the study of the way in which the body defends itself against invading organisms or internal invaders (tumors) – has developed rapidly over the last 40 years, and particularly during the last 10 years with the advent of molecular techniques. It is now a rapidly moving field that is contributing critical tools for research and diagnosis, and therapeutics for treatment of a wide range of human diseases. |
