The Evolution of the Immune System

In Rahmen der Vortragsreihe des Alfried-Krupp-Graduiertenkollegs Tumorbiologie spricht Professor Dr. Thomas Boehm (Max-Planck-Insitut für Immunbiologie, Freiburg im Breisgau) über das Immunsystem als evolutionär altes Instrument der Qualitätskontrolle

"To distinguish between self and nonself is a fundamental requirement of life. All systems of self/nonself discrimination also require mechanisms to maintain quality control. I propose that the strategies of quality control for the evolutionarily recent (and more sophisticated) systems for self/nonself discrimination, such as those employed in the adaptive immune system of higher vertebrates, may have evolved from ancient systems of self/nonself discrimination."

Thomas Boehm (*1956) ist Direktor des Max-Planck-Instituts für Immunbiologie in Freiburg im Breisgau. Für seine Forschungen am Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum in Heidelberg erhielt er 1997 den Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Preis der DFG.
