Immunity —— The Evolution of an Idea

----- 免疫：一个观念的演变

ISBN: 9780190914196 出版年：2017 页码：329 Tauber, Alfred I Oxford University Press

In Immunity, Alfred Tauber sets forth a new theory of immunology that rejects the common principle of self and non-self, and the immune system's role as a protector of the self from external threats. Rather than serving to defend an independent entity, he argues, immunity participates in a large, complex eco-system of porous and flexible boundaries. Tauber's new approach to immunology necessitates a new biology in which symbiosis is the rule, not the exception.
