Pathogens and Immunity
Historical Highlight: Three Seminal Articles Relating to the Recognition of Protein Antigens by Antibodies
By Neil Greenspan and Emily Kukan.
Abstract
Beginning with this installment, the Pathogens and Immunity Historical Highlight series will focus, at least in some instances, on important themes in immunology, infectious disease, and microbiology by summarizing the contributions of a small and highly selected sampling of foundational articles instead of discussing just one landmark publication. By contrast, the first 2 installments were devoted to single studies that offered insights fundamental to all 3 of the above-cited disciplines and many other biomedical fields.
