This is a timeline of immunology.

Big picture

Time period Development summary

Full timeline

Year Event type Details Country/region
430 BC "Nevertheless, there were intimations as early as 430 B.C. that if one survived a disease, the person thereafter became "immune" to any subsequent exposures."[1]
1700 "Although most historical accounts credit Edward Jenner for the development of the first immunization process, a previous similar procedure had become established in China by 1700. The technique was called variolation. This was derived from the name of the infective agent—the variola virus."[1] China
1798 " Edward Jenner initiates smallpox vaccination."[1][2]
1877 "Paul Ehrlich recognizes mast cells."[1]
1879 " Louis Pasteur develops an attenuated chicken cholera vaccine."[1]
1883 Russian zoologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov theorizes that cells are involved in the defense of the body.[1][2]
1891 Robert Koch discovers delayed type hypersensitivity.[1][2]
1900 Paul Ehrlich theorizes about some of the events taking place in immune cells, postulating that cells interact with toxins via "side chains" that stem from protoplasm.
1902 Charles Richet coins the term anaphylaxis to describe the most dangerous allergic reaction.[2]
1906 Clemens von Pirquet coins the term allergy.[1][2]

1942 "Jules Freund and Katherine McDermott research adjuvants."[1]
1949 " Macfarlane Burnet & Frank Fenner formulate immunological tolerance hypothesis."[1]
1957 " Alick Isaacs & Jean Lindemann discover interferon (cytokine)."[1]
1959 "Niels Jerne, David Talmage, Macfarlane Burnet develop clonal selection theory."[1]
1962 "Rodney Porter and team discovery the structure of antibodies."[1]

1985 "Scientists begin the rapid identification of genes for immune cells that continues to the present."[1]
1987 " Leroy Hood and team identify genes for the T cell receptor."[1]
