title: [Immunology in medical practice. I. Introduction].
abstract: Fundamental immunology has seen a tremendous development in the past decades. This has resulted in a large body of knowledge, part of which has led to applications in laboratory diagnosis, but of which little has made its way to the clinic in terms of new therapies. The progress in understanding pathogenesis of diseases is also slow. This journal is planning a series of articles that highlight the recent achievements of immunology and their consequences for understanding and treating disease.
