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]
1840 German physician Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle proposes a germ theory of disease.
1877 German Jewish physician Paul Ehrlich first describes mast cells.[3][1]
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.[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]
1907 Svante Arrhenius coins the term immunochemistry.[2]
1910 Henry Dale identifies histamine, a body chemical responsible for many allergic reactions.
1916 Robert Cook and Albert Vander Veer demonstrate the role of heredity in allergy sufferers.
1921 Carl Prausnitz and Heinz Küstner discover that components in the blood can reproduce food allergy reactions.[2]
1926 Lloyd D. Felton isolates pure antibody preparation.
1934 John Marrack advances the antigen-antibody binding hypothesis.
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.
1941 Albert Coons develops immunofluorescence technique.
1942 "Jules Freund and Katherine McDermott research adjuvants."[1]
1948 Astrid Fagraeus demonstrates the production of antibodies in plasma B cells.
1949 " Macfarlane Burnet & Frank Fenner formulate immunological tolerance hypothesis."[1]
1950 Howard Gershon and Koichi S. Kondo discover suppressor T cells.
1953 J.F. Riley and G.B. West discover histamine in mast cells.
1957 " Alick Isaacs & Jean Lindemann discover interferon (cytokine)."[1]
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]
1987 " Leroy Hood and team identify genes for the T cell receptor."[1]
1990 Leroy Hood identifies genes for the T. cell receptor.
