Immunology Research in Israel.

Abstract

Research in immunology has developed and flourished greatly in Israel. Initially, research in this area was carried out primarily at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot. In the late 1960s and 1970s, new academic centers were established for immunological research at universities in Tel-Aviv, Haifa, and Beer-Sheva. Important areas in immunology research being pursued by Israeli scientists include investigation of immunoglobin genes, structure-function analysis of antibodies and regulation of antibody production and expansion; genetics of autoimmunity and cancer; lymphokines and complement; autoimmunity; tumor immunology; transplantation and tissue typing; clinical immunology; infectious diseases; and applied immunology.
