In 1890, {{w|Emil von Behring}} and {{w|Kitasato Shibasaburō}} discover that the serum of vaccinated individuals contain substances—which they call antibodies—that specifically bound to the relevant pathogen.<ref name="Basic Concepts in Immunology"/>

| 20th century || At the beginning of the 20th century, immunology remains a young discipline, with the humoral theory of immunity having strong influence, with long term implications for future immunological developments. In the 1950s, the idea of cell-mediated immunity is accepted and cellular immunity develops.<ref name="Some early Trends in Immunology"/> In the 1980s, scientists begin the rapid identification of genes for immune cells that continues to the present.<ref name="History of immunology"/>

| 21st century || Today, immunology spreads across many biological disciplines. The most important areas of immunology currently include new strategies for vaccines and studies of regulatory T lymphocytes and the innate immune response. Fast-paced changes in immunology are also seen in pharmaceuticals.<ref>{{cite web |title=Immunology: Attacking a Moving Target |url=http://www.sciencemag.org/features/2003/04/immunology-attacking-moving-target |website=sciencemag.org |accessdate=27 August 2018}}</ref>

Big picture

Time period Development summary
18th century The early century sees interest in acquired immunity through the use of variolation as a prophylactic measure, whereby live virus is taken from a diseased smallpox victim and used as inoculum.[1]
19th century The modern era of immunization starts with the pioneering work of Edward Jenner, who discovers in 1796 that cowpox, or vaccinia, induces protection against human smallpox.[2] The century sees developments in immunology that include the recognition of phagocytosis and also mast cells.[1] 1884, Élie Metchnikoff proposes the cellular theory of immunology.[1] In the 1880s, Louis Pasteur devises a vaccine against cholera in chickens, and develops a rabies vaccine that proves a spectacular success upon its first trial in a boy bitten by a rabid dog. In 1890, Emil von Behring and Kitasato Shibasaburō discover that the serum of vaccinated individuals contain substances—which they call antibodies—that specifically bound to the relevant pathogen.[2]
20th century At the beginning of the 20th century, immunology remains a young discipline, with the humoral theory of immunity having strong influence, with long term implications for future immunological developments. In the 1950s, the idea of cell-mediated immunity is accepted and cellular immunity develops.[1] In the 1980s, scientists begin the rapid identification of genes for immune cells that continues to the present.[3]
21st century Today, immunology spreads across many biological disciplines. The most important areas of immunology currently include new strategies for vaccines and studies of regulatory T lymphocytes and the innate immune response. Fast-paced changes in immunology are also seen in pharmaceuticals.[4]

Full timeline

Year Event type Details Country/region
430 BC Intimations already suggest that if one survives a disease, the person thereafter becomes "immune" to any subsequent exposures.[3]

1546 Scientific development Italian physician Girolamo Fracastoro proposes that epidemic disease is caused by transferable seed-like entities that are capable of transmitting infection by direct or indirect contact or without contact over long distances. Fracastoro also applies this theory to smallpox and acquired immunity, although he wrongly believes that this immunity protects against infection by other diseases, such as measles.[1] Italy
