The Conservative Physiology of the Immune System. A Non-Metaphoric Approach to Immunological Activity by Nelson M. Vaz, Gustavo C. Ramos, Vitor Pordeus, Claudia R. Carvalho

“…Historically, immunology emerged as a biomedical science, concerned with host defense and production of anti-infectious vaccines. In the late 50s, selective theories were proposed and from then on, immunology has been based in a close association with the neo-Darwinian principles, such as random generation of variants (lymphocyte clones), selection by extrinsic factors (antigens)—and, more generally, on genetic determinism and functionalism. …”
