摘要

Immunology is a discipline to investigate the structure and function of the immune molecules or immune pathway and the causes of immunity to disease, which cover the study of all aspects of the immune system. The earliest concept of acquired immunology was originated from the inoculation of smallpox occurs inWan Quan’s (1499- 1582) Douzhenxinfa,[1] and was further developed by Edward Jenner with the discovery of smallpox vaccine in 1796.[2] Immunology made a great advance towards the end of the 19th century, with the isolation of infectious bacteria by Robert Koch[3] and the demonstration of antibody activity against diphtheria and tetanus toxins by Emil von Behring and Kitasato Shibasaburo.
