Abstract

Combining immunology and genetics has become a highly productive line of research in recent years, namely the study of the effects of genetic factors on immunological processes and differences in susceptibility to disease caused by these factors. The implications of this new field of research are discussed in the present paper. Particular attention is paid to one of the most exhaustively studied immunogenetic systems, the Major Histocompatibility Complex.
