Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, journal issue, of "The most important paper in the history of transplantation" (British Transplantation Society). "Sir Peter Medawar is best remembered for developing the theory of acquired immunological tolerance, thus laying the foundation for successful organ and tissue… transplantation. For this work he received, along with Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet, the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1960" (DSB). "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" (Tolar, Tolarova & McGrath, On Medawar's 'Actively acquired tolerance of foreign cells', Experimental Dermatology 23 (2014), p. 97). Large 8vo, pp. ccxlv-cclii, 597-618, xii, 619-640, ccliii-cclx. Original printed wrappers.
