Advances in Immunity and Cancer Therapy

Part of the book series: Advances in Immunity and Cancer Therapy ((IMMUNITY,volume 2))

Abstract

The concept that allograft rejection is mediated by an immunological reaction was first proposed by Peter Gorer in 1938 (1). This concept formed the basis of transplantation immunology and was later expanded by the transplantation studies of Sir Peter Medawar (2).
