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][3]
1840 German physician Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle proposes a germ theory of disease.
1862 German biologist Ernst Haeckel recognizes phagocytosis.[3] Germany
1874 Moritz Traube and Richard Gscheidlen inject micro-organisms into the blood and find that micro-organisms are rapidly destroyed and bloodstream maintain its sterility.[3]
1877 German Jewish physician Paul Ehrlich first describes mast cells.[4][1][3]
1878 Louis Pasteur confirms and popularizes the germ theory of disease.
1883 Russian zoologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov theorizes that cells are involved in the defense of the body. Metchnikoff introduces the concept of cell-mediated or cellular immunity.[1][2][5]
1884 W. Grohmann notes that cell-free serum is capable of killing microorganism in vitro.[3]
1888 French bacteriologists Pierre Paul Émile Roux and Alexandre Yersin discover bacterial toxin, by isolating a toxin secreted by corynebacterium diphtheriae and showing that the toxin—and not the microorganism—gives rise to the symptoms of diphteria.[6][3] France
1888 American-British bacteriologist George Nuttall inoculates defibrinated blood with bacteria and shows that outside the body, serum retains its bactericidal activity.[3]
1889 Hans Buchner first identifies a principle in fresh blood that he terms as "alexin" and is capable of killing bacteria.[3]
1889 German bacteriologist Richard Friedrich Johannes Pfeiffer conducts a series of experiments that allow the understanding of bactericidal action of serum.[3] Germany
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.[3]
1900 Austrian biologist Karl Landsteiner discovers ABO blood group system.[3]
1902 Charles Richet coins the term anaphylaxis to describe the most dangerous allergic reaction.[2][3]
1903 ""Almoth Wright and Stewart Douglas, opsonization reactions""
1906 Clemens von Pirquet coins the term allergy.[1][2][3]
1907 Svante Arrhenius coins the term immunochemistry.[2][3]
1910 Henry Dale identifies histamine, a body chemical responsible for many allergic reactions.
1910 "Peyton Rous, viral immunology theory"
1916 Robert Cook and Albert Vander Veer demonstrate the role of heredity in allergy sufferers.
1917 "Karl Landsteiner, haptens" [3]
1921 Carl Prausnitz and Heinz Küstner discover that components in the blood can reproduce food allergy reactions.[2][3]
1924 Ludwig Aschoff adopts the term reticuloendothelial system (RES).[3][7][8]
1926 Lloyd D. Felton isolates pure antibody preparation.[3]
1930 Elvin Kabat for the first time reports that gamma globulin, also called immunoglobulin, of serum acts as an active component and is mainly responsible for immunological activity after infection.[3][5]
1930 Friedrich Breinl and Felix Haurowitz propose the instructional theory, based on the protein folding hypothesis. According to this theory, the specificity of the antibody is determined by the antigen that provides a template to fold the antibody around itself.[5]
1934 John Marrack advances the antigen-antibody binding hypothesis.[3]
1936 Peter Gorer identifies the H-2 antigen in mice.[3]
1937 David Bovet synthesizes the first antihistamine.
1938 "John Marrack formulates antigen-antibody binding hypothesis."[1]
1940 Karl Landsteiner and Alexander S. Weiner identify Rh antigens.[3]
1940 Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov's hypothesis that the main cause of immunity in the immunized animals is active cells rather than the serum components is strengthened by the experimental proof given by Merrill Chase.[5]
1941 Albert Coons develops immunofluorescence technique.
1942 "Jules Freund and Katherine McDermott research adjuvants."[1]
1944 Peter Medawar develops the immunological hypothesis of allograft rejection.[1]
1948 Astrid Fagraeus demonstrates the production of antibodies in plasma B cells.[1]
1948 George Snell develops congenic strains of mice.[9][1][10]
1949 " Macfarlane Burnet & Frank Fenner formulate immunological tolerance hypothesis."[1]
1950 Howard Gershon and Koichi S. Kondo discover suppressor T cells.[3]
1953 J.F. Riley and G.B. West discover histamine in mast cells.
1957 British virologist Alick Isaacs and Suiss colleague Jean Lindemann discover interferon.[11][1][12]
1958 Jean Dausset discovers human leukocyte antigens.
1959 Rodney Porter discovers antybody structure.
1959 "Niels Jerne, David Talmage, Macfarlane Burnet develop clonal selection theory."[1]
1962 "Rodney Porter and team discovery the structure of antibodies."[1]
1962 "Jaques Miller and team discover thymus involvement in cellular immunity."[1]
1962 "Noel Warner and team distinguish between cellular and humoral immune responses."[1]
1964 Anthony Davis identifies T and B cell cooperation in immune response.
1967 Teruko and Kimishige Ishizaka identify IgE, the allergy antibody.
1968 " Anthony Davis and team discover T cell and B cell cooperation in immune response."[1]
1974 "Rolf Zinkernagel and Peter Doherty explore major histocompatibility complex restriction."[1]
1985 Susumu Tonegawa and Leroy Hood identify immunoglobulin genes."[1]
1985 Leroy Hood identifies genes for the T. cell receptor.
1985 "Scientists begin the rapid identification of genes for immune cells that continues to the present."[1]
