Title: The study of allergy by Japanese researchers: a historical perspective. Author: Takai T, Karasuyama H. Journal: Int Immunol; 2009 Dec; 21(12):1311-6. PubMed ID: 19858072. Abstract: It has been over a hundred years since Shibasaburo Kitasato and Emil Adolf von Boehring's finding of a serum component that neutralizes bacterial toxins and the subsequent development of antiserum therapy. Over that time, many Japanese researchers have greatly contributed to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms for allergic and inflammatory diseases. This article is aimed at introducing such individual work and how these areas have contributed to our understanding of the mechanisms of allergic reactions.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
