- Title
Locating Therapeutic Vaccines in Nineteenth-Century History.
- Authors
Gradmann, Christoph
- Abstract
An essay that places some therapeutic vaccines into their larger historical context of the nineteenth century is presented. It notes that the system of vaccine control that evolved in Germany is portrayed as being reliant on experiences drawn from events that surrounded the launch of the bacteriological medicine, tuberculin in 1890. One of the peculiarities of the history of the diphtheria antitoxin is that it came being as a parallel invention in the lnstitut Pasteur in Paris, France and lnstitut für Infektionskrankheiten in Berlin, Germany.
