An Indespensable Historical Prospective
I am grateful that this classic is still in print and readily available to those of us who take haptens seriously. As an author, the references cited were invaluable to me in discussing early work leading to the current state-of-the-art research in hapten immunochemistry.

Product Description
Karl Landsteiner is best known for his discovery of the human blood goups. The revolutionary discoveries of this brilliant scientist in other fields have not received the recognition they deserve. His demonstration that poliomyelitis is transmissable showed the way of modern virology. His studies opening the field for epitope recognition, which he himself considered his main achievement, laid the foundation for research ongoing in our days. This book with its outstanding contributors is but a small tribute to this visionary scientist. ... Read more

Extrait : Robert Royston Amos ("Robin") Coombs, (Londres, le 9 janvier 1921 - 25 janvier 2006) est un médecin immunologiste britannique connu pour sa participation à la mise au point du test de Coombs (1945) qui permet de mettre en évidence la présence d'immunoglobulines, (qui font partie de la fraction des protéines du plasma appelées à l'époque globulines), test qui deviendra à la base d'examens importants pour la sécurité d'une transfusion sanguine (groupes sanguins, recherche d'anticorps irréguliers), ou pour la recherche de la cause d'une anémie hémolytique. Le test de Coombs, maintenant appelé test à l'antiglobuline, a, en particulier, permis d'identifier de nombreux groupes sanguins grâce à la mise en évidence de leurs anticorps, et de diagnostiquer les maladies hémolytiques du nouveau-né. Il étudie la biologie à Édimbourg puis à Cambridge où il fait son doctorat en 1947. Il devient professeur de biologie en 1966. Ses sujets d'étude concernent essentiellement l'immunologie. Il publie son travail le plus connu sur la détection des immunoglobulines en 1945 et 1946 avec Arthur Mourant et Rob Race. ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Hugo Bettauer (18 August 1872 26 March 1925), born Maximilian Hugo Bettauer, was a prolific Austrian writer and journalist, who was murdered by a Nazi Party follower on account of his controversial views. He was very well known in his lifetime; many of his books were bestsellers and in the 1920s a number were made into films, most notably Die freudlose Gasse (The Joyless Street, directed by Georg Wilhelm Pabst, 1925), which dealt with prostitution, and Die Stadt ohne Juden (The City Without Jews, directed by Hans Karl Breslauer, 1924), a satire against anti-Semitism. Maximilian Hugo Bettauer, later known as Hugo Bettauer, was born in Baden bei Wien on 18 August 1872, the son of the stockbroker Arnold (Samuel Aron) Bettauer from Lemberg (Lviv) and his wife Anna (née Wecker). He had two older sisters, Hermine (Michi) and Mathilde. In 1887-88, together with Karl Kraus, he attended the fourth form of the Franz-Joseph-Gymnasium in the Stubenbastei, Vienna. Kraus was to be his fiercest critic for the whole of his life. At the age of 16 Bettauer ran away from home and travelled to Alexandria, from where the Austrian Consul sent him straight back again. In 1890 Bettauer converted from the Jewish faith to the Evangelical church. In the same year he joined the Kaiserjäger (Imperial mountain infantry) as a one-year volunteer.

Juni 1943 in New York) war ein österreichischer Pathologe und Serologe, der 1901 das AB0-System der Blutgruppen entdeckte, wofür er 1930 den Nobelpreis für Medizin erhielt. 1921 führten ihn weitere Arbeiten zur Prägung des Begriffs Hapten; 1940 entdeckte er außerdem mit Alexander Solomon Wiener den Rhesusfaktor. Landsteiners Vater Leopold (1817 Wien - 22. Februar 1875 ebenda), ein bekannter Journalist und erster Chefredakteur der Zeitung Die Presse, starb mit 56 Jahren, als Karl sechs Jahre alt war. Dadurch hatte er eine sehr enge Beziehung zu seiner Mutter Fanny, geb. Heß, und ihre Totenmaske hing bis zu seinem Tod in seinem Schlafzimmer. Landsteiner studierte nach seiner am heutigen Gymnasium Wasagasse in Wien mit Vorzug bestandenen Matura ab 1885 an der Universität Wien Medizin und promovierte dort 1891. Während seines Studiums veröffentlichte er eine Arbeit über den Einfluss von Diäten auf die Zusammensetzung des Blutes. Nach seinem Studium verbrachte Landsteiner fünf Jahre im Ausland in Laboratorien in Zürich bei Arthur Hantzsch, in Würzburg beim berühmten deutschen Chemiker Emil Fischer und in München bei Eugen Bamberger. 1896 kehrte er nach Wien zurück und wurde Assistent am von Max von Gruber geleiteten Hygienischen Institut. Dort führte er Studien über den Mechanismus der Immunität und das Wesen von A...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=17048 ... Read more
