HISTORY Flashcards
Study of a host’s reaction when foreign substances are introduced into the body
Immunology
Foreign substances that induce an immnue response
Antigen
Roots in the study of immunity, wherein it is the condition of being resistant to infections
Science
He observe the plague in Athens that individuals who had previously contracted the disease recovered (“immune” status)
Thucydides (430 BC)
Inhaling dried powders derived from the crusts of smallpox lesions
Chinese (1000 AD)
In this practice, they deliberately expose the individual to the material from smallpox lesions.This practice is known as
Variolation (Chinese, 1000 AD)
The theory was if an healthy individual was exposed to a child or young adult, the eof the disease would minimize. However, it is not always the case
Variolation (Chinese, 1000 AD)

Edward Jenner (1700s)
Late___________ turned to identifying the actual mechanism that would produce immunity to the host.
