B cells and plasma cells 1/ Where do I start? Is it at Von Behring and Kitasato who were the first to discover that immunization of animals with diptheria and tetanus toxins resulted in soluble substances in the serum that neutralize these same toxins making them harmless? bit.ly/VonBehring1890

From "The generative grammar of the immune system" by Niels K Jerne (EMBO, 1985) PMID: 2410261

Also see his Nobel lecture of the same title.
