Hippocrates (460-379BC)
Process/practice of applying Powdered SMALLPOX Crusts and inserting them with a pin or “poking” into the skin
Variolation
Variolation was popularized in Great Britain, largely through the efforts of:
Mary Wortley Montagu
Year when Immunology began
1796

Edward Jenner
He experimented on SMALLPOX VACCINE and began a pathway of discovery of the IMMUNE SYSTEM
Edward JennerFeat. Kim Kardashian
Year of THE SPREAD OF VACCINATION
1885
He developed VACCINATION; Discovered how to prepare and use attenuated disease-causing microbes as Vaccines against CHOLERA in chickens,ANTHRAX and RABIES in animals and man
Louis Pasteur
Worked on ANAPHYLAXIS; he was one of the first to demonstrate thE protective effects of the IS could also cause great damage to the body
CHARLES RICHET - 1913
Charles Richet worked with this guy and studied on the body’s response to toxins
