Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First separate edition of Garrison-Morton 2578.11: 'Proof of Burnet and Fenner s theory of immunity. For their discovery of acquired immunological tolerance Medawar and Burnet (No. 2578.7) shared the Nobel Prize in 1960.' 'The fields of dermatology and transplantation biology have recently come together in clinical trials of bone marrow transplantation for severe inherited blistering skin diseases. But the original link between these two disciplines goes back to an extraordinary publication in 1953 in Nature by Peter Medawar and colleagues that explored the immunological basis of successful skin transplantation between different strains of mice and how 'foreign' antigens could be perceived as 'self'. This work led to the emergence of blood and bone marrow transplantation and thus transformed the practice of modern medicine' (Abstract of Jakub Tolar, Simona Tolarova & John A. McGrath, 'Commentary: My Favorite Historical Paper. On Medawar's 'Actively acquired tolerance of foreign cells', Experimental Dermatology, Vol. 23, Issue 2, Feb. 2014, pp. 97-8).
