title: WHO's first research unit: immunology.
abstract: The Advisory Committee on Medical Research has just celebrated its 25th anniversary. The first research unit concerned itself with immunology and it provides an excellent example of the foresight of ACMR. Immunological tests are now an integral part of all branches of medicine. All nurses need to have an awareness of the rapid growth of immunology, from its roots in microbiology to its present status as a scientific discipline.
