History Of Immuno Sero Flashcards
Recognition of “adaptive” protection against disease
Egypt & China
Fever
Mesopotamia
Anatomic identification of organs
Hippocrates
Acquired resistance to poisons
Mithridate Eupator, King of Pontus
Four cardinal signs of inflammation
Celsus
“Snuff” variolation for smallpox
Sung Dynasty, China
Bursa of birds described
Fabricius
Lymphoid tissue identified in small intestine
Peyer
Observed the positive effects of variolation on the native population and had the technique performed on her own children.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
First demonstration of vaccination (smallpox vaccination)
Edward Jenner
First description of the role of microbes in putrefaction and fermentation
Theodore Schwann
Confirmation of the role of yeast in fermentation of sugar to alcohol
Charles Cagniard-Latour
First “modern” proposal of the germ theory of disease
Jacob Henley
Demonstration of the contagious nature of puerperal fever (childbed fever)
Ignaz Semmelweis
Tuberculous granulomas
Rokitansky
Langhans Giant Cells
Langhans
Confirmation of the role of microbes in fermentation
Louis Pasteur
Theory that bacterial virulence could be attenuated by culture in vitro and used as vaccines. Proposed that live attenuated microbes produced immunity by depleting host of vital trace nutrients.
Louis Pasteur
Phagocytosis
Ernst Haeckel
First aseptic practice in surgery using carbolic acid
Joseph Lister
First demonstration that microbes can cause disease ANThrax
Robert Koch
Mast Cells
Paul Ehrlich
Confirmation and popularization of the germ theory of disease
Louis Pasteur
Birth of cellular pathology
Virchow
Cellular theory of immunity via phagocytosis by macrophage and microphages (polymorphonuclear leukocytes)
Elie Metchnikoff
Introduction of the concept of “therapeutic vaccination”.
Louis Pasteur
Anti-rattlesnake venom discovered
Sewall
Identification of bacterial toxins (Diptheria bacillus)
Pierre Roux and Alexandre Yersin
Bactericidal action of blood
George Nuttall
Demonstration of antibody activity against diphtheria and tetanus toxins. Beginning of humoral theory of immunity.
Emil von Behring and Shibasaburo Kitasato
Demonstration of cutaneous (delayed type) hypersensitivity
Robert Koch
Use of live bacteria and bacterial lysates to treat tumors (Coley’s Toxins)
William B. Coley
Bacteriolysis
Richard Pfeiffer
An antibacterial, heat-labile serum component (complement) is described
Jules Bordet
Antibody formation theory “side chain theory” “horror autotoxicus”
Paul Ehrlich
Blood groups
Karl Landsteiner
