History of Immunology Flashcards
- 430 BC
- Plague in Athens
- Individuals who had previously contracted the disease recovered from the illness.
THUCYDIDES
What year?
Immunization by inhaling dried powders derived from the crusts of smallpox lesions
Chinese 1000 AD
What year?
Powdered smallpox crusts were inserted with a pin into the skin instead of inhalation
Chinese 15th Century
Privately published a small booklet entitled “An inquiry into the causes and effects of the Variolae Vaccinae, a disease discovered in some of the
Western countries of England, particularly Gloucestershire and known by the name of Cow Pox”.
Edward Jenner
- DAIRYMAID
- She had fresh cowpox lesions on her
hands and arms
Sarah Nelmes
- 8-year-old boy
- Developed mild fever and discomfort
- After 9 days = felt cold and
had a loss of appetite - Next day = he felt much better
James Phipps
- Date when Edward Jenner inoculated James Phipps again with a matter of fresh smallpox lesion
- NO disease was developed
- Concluded that protection was

- A foreign substance that can stimulate the production of antibodies.
- Immunogens (another term)
ANTIGEN
The structures, cells, and soluble constituents of the circulating blood that allow the host to recognize and respond to antigens.
IMMUNE SYSTEM
Condition of being resistant to infection
IMMUNITY
Provide the Year

1986
- Specific glycoprotein produced in response to an antigenic challenge.
- Immunoglobulins (another term)
ANTIBODY
ROLE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
- Defending the body against infections
- Recognizing and responding to foreign antigens
- Defending the body against the development of tumors
IMMUNOLOGY Consists of the following:
- The study of molecules cells organs and systems response responsible for the recognition and disposal of foreign or non-self-material
- How body components respond and interact
- The desirable and undesirable consequences of immune interaction
- The ways in which an immune system can be advantageously manipulated to protect against or treat disease
