| Abstract
|
:
|
The comparative approach to immunology can be traced to the era of Pasteur and Metchnikov in which observations regarding foreign recognition in invertebrates was a factor in the develop- ment of the principal concepts that created the foundation of what now is the broad field of immunology.
