LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Negli ultimi anni, anche a causa dell'urgenza provocata dal diffondersi dell'AIDS e del ruolo centrale svolto nella tecnica dei trapianti e nella cura dei tumori, la ricerca in campo immunologico ha avuto un grandissimo sviluppo. L'immunologia è oggi la più dinamica fra le discipline medico-biologiche, in cui le scoperte si susseguono con incalzante rapidità e si aprono continuamente nuove prospettive. Appare dunque tanto più necessario fare il punto su questa disciplina, riconsiderandola nel suo progredire storico, per meglio comprendere le attuali realizzazioni e tendenze. L'evoluzione del pensiero immunologico è una raccolta di saggi, scritti fra il 1900 e il 1986, che per la loro importanza e il prestigio dei loro autori - dieci dei quali sono stati insigniti del premio Nobel - possono essere considerati come momenti emblematici dell'evoluzione dell'immunologia nell'ultimo secolo. L'antologia è preceduta da un'approfondita introduzione del curatore, che costituisce una vera e propria breve storia del pensiero immunologico contemporaneo. Dalla lettura di queste pagine emerge chiaramente come il ruolo centrale dell'immunologia per il progresso delle scienze biomediche non sia solo una circostanza attuale, ma una costante di tutta la sua storia. Le questioni teoriche e pratiche sollevate dall'immunologia hanno promosso in modo significativo la crescita delle conoscenze scientifiche anche in altri campi, rispecchiando i temi fondamentali del dibattito biologico. Come ha scritto uno studioso, Ğl'immunologia ha a che fare con un microcosmo che riflette vividamente le caratteristiche essenziali del cosmo biologicoğ. Lo studio dell'immunità nei vertebrati, per esempio, ha fornito ai biologi un'incredibile messe di informazioni sulla fisiologia delle interazioni cellulari, mentre il problema della formazione degli anticorpi, nel periodo che segnò la nascita della biologia molecolare, rappresentò un riferimento teorico e sperimentale per le indagini sui meccanismi della sintesi proteica.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. 2 p.l. & 9828 pages; Contemporary binding, red half morocco over marbled boards, five raised bands on the spine, title, date and volume number lettered directly in spine panels in gilt, top edges lightly marbled to match the marbled endpapers. Just a hint of light rubbing at the edges and corners; the binding is clean and handsome (with a tiny ding of little consequence along the bottom edge of the rear board). This nineteenth volume of the papers of the Institut Pasteur contain the usual mix of cutting-edge science concerning bacteriology, serolgy, vaccination, and the work towards the eradication of tuberculosis, rabies, maleria, etc. These include the fourth part of an ongoing important series on syphilis: (Élie Metchnikoff and Émile Roux : "Etudes expérimentales sur la syphilis." Quatrieme memoire [pp. 673-698]. In two short years since Metchnikoff and Roux published the first part of their researches, they state here that the central revelation and insight they brought to the study of this age-old scourge, the successful transfer of this disease from humans to the "anthropoid apes (particularly chimpanzees) was now being done in laboritories throughout the world. The vastly increased understanding from this reserach window into a disease once thought to have been a uniquely human problem bore spectacular fruit in 1905, with the first observations of the spirochete via microscopy, and the development of the Wassermann test for antibodies to a syphilis infection via examination of the blood. There are two articles by the brothers Sergent -- Edmond Sergent and Etienne. Edmond, along with a distinguished team of colleagues not least his brother, directed the Pasteur Institute of Algeria for over 60 years, from 1900 to 1963. The brothers Sergent had been students of Emile Roux. The first of their articles in this volume deals with Trypanosomiasis of camels occurring in North Africa, called locally El Debab. This is caused by blood-sucking flies. The second article by the Sergents concerned their efforts to deal with malaria in Algeria -- (the Sergents first studied malaria in the less-likely venue of a large lake in the Loire; their determined efforts in Algeria would go on for an extraordinary period of nearly six decades. There is an important paper on the venom of the cobra by Fernand Noc, who organized the many venoms of snakes by the nature and speed of their actions on blood. There is an article concerning pulmonary tuberculosis by Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin -- a preliminary work by the pair of scientists who would develop the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), a vaccine for immunization against tuberculosis. (Over a century later, this remains a mainstay of the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines). But this 1905 volume also contains a series of articles concerning the science of the making of cheese, which still has relevance and substantial influence 110 years later. [Pierre Mazé: 'Les Microbes dans l'industrie fromagere' three parts, all contained in this volume]. Traditional cheesemakers had, for centuries, assumed that the process they exploited was an example of spontaneous generation -- Louis Pasteur proved them wrong forty five years before this voume appeared. Milk becomes cheese by means of the action of bacteria. Pierre Mazé observed the process via microscopy, and in slide preparations made with scientific rigor and great care. Some of the techniques and agents used in cheesemaking changed in France during the early years of the twentieth century. The color (and almost certainly the taste) of several cheeses, most notably Brie and Camembert, changed during that time. Some modern makers (and fans) of the many great cheeses have second thoughts about some of this, and students of the art should examine Pierre Mazé's work. In particular, he is a champion for a traditional baccilus [P. album] the use of which almost universally ceased before the second World War. There are 17 full-page plates at the end, most are color lithographs. Text in French, throughout.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. 2 p.l. & 780 pages; Contemporary binding, red half morocco over marbled boards, five raised bands on the spine, title, date and volume number lettered directly in spine panels in gilt, top edges lightly marbled to match the marbled endpapers. Just a hint of light rubbing at the edges and corners; the binding is clean and handsome. Contents of 1904 include parts two and three of Élie Metchnikoff and Émile Roux's important series on syphilis: ( "Etudes expérimentales sur la syphilis." Deuxieme memoire [pp. 1-6] & Troisieme memoire [pp. 657-671, with 2 color plates). These articles give further detail of the study of syphilis and its morphology and symptoms as the authors trasmit this human pathogen to chimpanzees and other primates. (Garrison-Morton 2398). There is a significant article on an early clinical use of X-rays, in this case used against ringworm, by Raymond Sabouraud (1864-1938). The treatment outlined here is still known as "Sabouraud's method." ('Les Teignes Cryptogramiques et les rayons X,' pp. 7-25, with b/w photographic illustrations). There is also an instrument named for Sabouraud and the co-author of this paper -- the "Sabouraud-Noiré instrument": (A dosimeter that measures the quantity of x-rays via the barium platino-cyanide method). Another article in this volume represents a classic of public health, written by Edmond Sergent and his brother Etienne. Edmond, along with a distinguished team of colleagues not least his brother, directed the Pasteur Institute of Algeria for over 60 years, from 1900 to 1963. The brothers Sergent had been students of Emile Roux. In this case, the brothers Sergent were attacking maleria, not in the tropics, but in the Loire, at Lac de Grand-Lieu -- using the groundbreaking methods directed by Robert Koch's four postulates -- (named, of course, after Robert Koch, the founder of modern bacteriology and the effective study and treatment of infectuous disease, who would win the Nobel Prize in the following year, 1905). The struggle against maleria became a focus of the Institut Pasteur, and the struggle would take Edmond Sergent and his brother far, far from the Loire. Their first article is immediately followed by an account of their anti-malerial campaign in Algeria, also in 1903 ['Essai de campagne antipaludique selon la methode de Koch (Lac de Grand- Lieu 1903)' -- pp. 49-64; followed by 'Campagne antipaludique en Algerie (1903)' -- pp. 64-97.] Another article details studies in another area to which Louis Pasteur turned his team's attentions -- ('Recherches sur les ferments de maladies des vins' -- Pierre Maze and P. Pacottet; pp. 245-266). The heart of the matter, clinically speaking, was the discovery that found that acetic acid could be formed by certain bacteria from alcohol in the absence of air when laevulose is present. Winemakers certainly took note. Sadly, there is also an obituary with text bordered in thick black rules, of Emile Duclaux, the Director of the Institut, with a full-page portrait engraved from a photograph. There are illustrations throughout, and 9 plates at the end (8 in color lithography). Text in French.

First Edition; First Printing. 2 p.l. & 1020 pages; Contemporary binding, red half morocco over marbled boards, five raised bands on the spine, title, date and volume number lettered directly in spine panels in gilt, top edges lightly marbled to match the marbled endpapers. Just a hint of light rubbing at the edges and corners; clean and handsome. This 1908 volume contains a significant article by the co-founder of modern immunology, published in the same year that Metchnikoff was awarded the Nobel Prize: E. Metchnikoff, 'Etudes sur la flore intestinale' [pp. 929-55]. This important paper appeared in the same year during which Élie Metchnikoff and Paul Ehrlich were awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "in recognition of their work on immunity." Metchnikoff, (whose name is also now transliterated as Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov) was born near Kharkov in 1845. After studies in Russia and Germany, he held academic appointments in Odessa and St. Petersburg, but left Russia in the 1880's as a reaction to political turbulence. Metchnikoff went to Paris seeking advice from Louis Pasteur, who responded by appointing Metchnikoff to a position as the Institut Pasteur, where Metchnikoff remained until his death in 1916. Other papers of interest in this year include a prescient paper concerning diabetes by the Belgian clinician Jean de Meyer, who would give insulin its name in 1909, the year after his paper ('Glycolyse, Hyperglycemie, Glycosurie et Diabete') was published in this volume. Contents also include -- Nicolle and Pozerski: 'Une conception générale des anticorps et de leurs effets.' Recherches sur la Flore intestinale normale des enfants.' by Henry Tissier. "De L'Anaphylaxie et des toxogénines" by Charles Richet [who was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1913 for his work on anaphylaxis]. And a three-part paper by M. Auguste Trillat: 'L'aldehyde acetique dans le vin, son origine et ses effets.' There is also a tribute, (with full-page gravure portrait from a photograph) to Charles Edouard Chamberland, who died May 2, 1908. Chamberland had worked closely with Louis Pasteur. His fortuitous negligence led to one of the major discoveries in the history of medicine. [Pasteur had requested, some time in 1880, that Chamberland inject some cholera specimens into chickens. Chamberland went on vacation, having forgotten to perform this routine task. Upon his return, Chamberland saw the jar of cholera bacteria sitting on the side of his desk and decided, even though his cholera preparation had been exposed to air for a couple of weeks, to inject this slightly aged specimen into the test chickens anyway. Chamberland was surprized that his chickens did not get sick and die, as expected. He told Pasteur of this result, and Pasteur directed Chamberland to inject the same chickens with fresh cholera. Now, to the amazement of both men, the chickens did not die, even confronted with what was clearly a fresh (and fatal) dose. Even when the fresh dose was repeatedly injected in these fortunate chickens, they remained healthy. Through this happy accident, Pasteur and Chamberland had discovered that a weakened form of a disease might serve as an effective vaccine. Chamberland also invented a porcelain filter the tiny holes of which would filter bacteria out of any solution -- this filter is still used today in labs throughout the world, and bears Chamberland's name. Text in French; 14 full-page color lithographic plates at the end.
