Immunological Surveillance
"The book 'Virus Mania' has been written with the care of a master-craftsman, courageously evaluating the medical establishment, the corporate elites and the powerful government funding institutions." Wolfgang Weuffen, MD, Professor of Microbiology and Infectious Epidemiology "The book 'Virus-Wahn' can be called the first work in which the errors, frauds and general misinformations being spread by official bodies about doubtful or non-virus infections are completely exposed." Gordon T. Stewart, MD, professor of public health and former WHO advisor - - - The population is terrified by reports of so-called COVID-19, measles, swine flu, SARS, BSE, AIDS or polio. However, the authors of "Virus M...
In 1960 Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet received the Noble Prize in Physiology and Medicine. He titled his Nobel Lecture “Immunological Recognition of Self” emphasizing the central argument of immunological tolerance in “How does the vertebrate organism recognize self from nonself in this the immunological sense—and how did the capacity evolve.” The concept of self is linked to the concept of biological self identity. All organisms, from bacteria to higher animals, possess recognition systems to defend themselves from nonself. Even in the context of the limited number of metazoan phyla that have been studied in detail, we can now describe many of the alternative mechanism of immune recognition that have emerged at varying points in phylogeny. Two different arms—the innate and adaptive immune system—have emerged at different moments in evolution, and they are conceptually different. The ultimate goals of immune biology include reconstructing the molecular networks underlying immune processes.
Reproduction, variation, and survival. Evolution and change in virus disease. The reaction of the host to virus infection. Herpes simplex. Poliomyelitis. Psittacosis and related infections. Smallpox, alastrim, and vaccinia. Yellow fever. Influenza.
A Historical Perspective on Evidence-Based Immunology focuses on the results of hypothesis-driven, controlled scientific experiments that have led to the current understanding of immunological principles. The text helps beginning students in biomedical disciplines understand the basis of immunologic knowledge, while also helping more advanced students gain further insights. The book serves as a crucial reference for researchers studying the evolution of ideas and scientific methods, including fundamental insights on immunologic tolerance, interactions of lymphocytes with antigen TCR and BCR, the generation of diversity and mechanism of tolerance of T cells and B cells, the first cytokines, t...
This is the first biography of one of Australia's most influential scientists. Sir Macfarlane Burnet, a famously reticent man, appointed Christopher Sexton as his biographer shortly before his death, and many interviews were conducted. These interviews, in combination with Burnet's diaries, letters, and other private papers, are the basis of this biography. The result is a frank, insightful portrait of a fascinating Nobel Laureate. This is a general -- not an academic or scientific -- biography, but Burnet's scientific achievements, as well as his long Directorship of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, have been captured in a style that reflects Burnet's lifelong dedication to the fundamentals of his field. Anyone interested in the world of scientific accomplishment, including general readers as well as scientists, will enjoy this account of the noted microbiologist and theoretical immunologist.
